Hi, I’m a newbie to the Adalo, now I’m looking for any advise to 1)connect Adalo with Spotify API 2)pull songs from a specific playlist 3)play songs on the app. Any advise will be appreciated:) 1. I went though these resources, but I’m not sure what I should input in the “Auth Setup” in the step 1 to connect Adalo with Spotify API. I’ve set up my developer account on Spotify. [Web API Reference | Spotify for Developers](https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/#/) 2)I’m wondering how I can play songs from this playlist [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DX7iB3RCnBnN4?si=c44fa6923aba4a63) 3)I’m wondering how I can use the Audio player like this once I figured out 1) and 2). [Audio Player - Adalo Resources](https://help.adalo.com/component-basics/marketplace-components/audio-player) I’d appreciate if you can give me advice on 1) — feel like 2) and 3) can be sorted out if 1) can:) Thanks for your help in advance:pray: ---

The way I see how Spotify API works, I believe you will not be able to use it with Adalo ☹ I spent a lot of time trying to make a Firebase API works, which also uses OAuth Authentication (described here [Client Credentials Flow | Spotify for Developers](https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/general/guides/authorization/client-credentials/)), but I couldn’t make it work properly. Adalo’s API feature is very limited and works only with simple authentication methods where you pass a token in the API url or through an Authentication header. Sorry for the bad news… hope I am wrong and you can make it work. Rafael ---

Hey Yudai, I am working on an app for a country-rock musician buddy of mine and we were trying to do the same thing. Unfortunately, it’s not possible. 1. I was able to successfully connect to Spotify’s API using [nocodeapi.com](http://nocodeapi.com) (Helpful tutorial: [create SPOTIFY API to fetch Tracks · Artists · Albums & Playlists - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rRiuPflrkA)) 2. The tracks API of Spotify only gives you a 30-second preview of the song, not the full audio. Because of the 30-second mp3 preview only, I ditched the Spotify API and just used the audio player with an mp3 database collection. ---

Has anyone noticed any recent developments on the Spotify API? I have a similar use case to @yudai and am hoping to build from within Adalo. ---

So, I don’t understand why this line features in the Adalo documentation if it is not possible? " The best way to use the Audio Player is by using External Collections or Custom Actions to connect with an outside service API like Spotify ([Web API | Spotify for Developers](https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/)), Soundcloud ([API - Guide - SoundCloud Developers](https://developers.soundcloud.com/docs/api/guide#playing)), Audius ([API • Audius](https://audius.org/api/)), Listen Notes ([https://www.listennotes.com/api/](https://www.listennotes.com/api/)), or using RSS feeds ([How to Find an RSS Feed’s URL | RSS.com](https://rss.com/blog/find-rss-feed/))."
