Integrating Spotify data with Qlik Sense via Data API opens up powerful analytics opportunities. For those looking to explore this further, this site offers a detailed guide on setting up and optimizing these connections, ensuring you can leverage your data for more insightful business decisions.
Yes it’s possible to pull Spotify data into Qlik Sense SaaS, but you’ll need to go through the Spotify Web API. Spotify has endpoints for top tracks, top artists, playlists, etc., and you can get that data once you register an app in the Spotify developer dashboard and grab your client ID and secret.
In Qlik Sense, you can use the REST connector to hit those Spotify endpoints. The key is setting up the OAuth 2.0 authentication so the API calls are authorized. Once that’s done, you can load the JSON response directly into your app and model it just like any other dataset.
I’ve seen people build dashboards that show “top artists by listening time” or “most played songs over 6 months.” If you just want a starting point, try calling the /me/top/artists or /me/top/tracks endpoints and then format that data in Qlik Sense — it works really well for visualizing music trends.
