We will soon be releasing the ability for users to revoke account access for applications for which they have previously granted access. If you have written an app which uses the OAuth “Authorization Code” or “Implicit Grant” flows, you should make sure that you app is ready.

On Wednesday 29th June we will release an update for all client IDs to enable your application to read which scopes have been granted by the user when requesting or refreshing access tokens.

Over the two years since Spotify acquired The Echo Nest, we have folded much of the power of The Echo Nest into Spotify’s stack. With today’s announcement of the wind down of The Echo Nest API, we’re happy to launch three new endpoints to bring some of the best parts of The Echo Nest’s API to Spotify.

We’re always working to make improvements to our Web APIs and today, we have some updates to share that will impact both The Spotify and The Echo Nest Web APIs.
