Is it allowed to use the Spotify Web API for commercial projects?

Question

I have a simple question concerning the Spotify Web API.

Is it legal to retrieve data from this service as a base for my app which then should be commercial?

Without going too much into detail: I use the information to present the user an extra service based on this information.

Any help is highly appreciated!

Bye

Answer 1

According to https://developer.spotify.com/developer-terms-of-use/#section-iv-restrictions

commercial uses are not permitted for Streaming SDAs

Reading further,

following are the only commercial uses of Non-Streaming SDAs

• sale of advertising, sponsorships, or promotions on the Non-Streaming SDA or Website;
• sale of, or sale of access to, a Non-Streaming SDA (including any e-commerce initiated via the Non-Streaming SDA);

You should better carefully read whole terms of use and consider your use case.
