A Spotify API written in Java to access the current playing song.
There is no need for an access token, any internet connection or a premium account
because the API reads the information directly from the application itself.
- Track id
- Track title & artist
- Track progress & length
- Playing state (Playing, paused)
- Track cover
- Media keys (Previous song, play/pause & next song)
- Windows
- macOS

Create the API and get the current playing song and position:
// Create a new SpotifyAPI for your operating system
SpotifyAPI api = SpotifyAPIFactory.createInitialized();
// It has no track until the song started playing once
if (api.hasTrack()) {
System.out.println(api.getTrack());
}
// It has no position until the song is paused, the position changed or the song changed
if (api.hasPosition()) {
System.out.println(api.getPosition());
}
Register a listener to get notified when the song changes:
SpotifyAPI api = SpotifyAPIFactory.create();
api.registerListener(new SpotifyListener() {
@Override
public void onConnect() {
System.out.println("Connected to Spotify!");
}
@Override
public void onTrackChanged(Track track) {
System.out.printf("Track changed: %s (%s)\n", track, formatDuration(track.getLength()));
}
@Override
public void onPositionChanged(int position) {
if (!api.hasTrack()) {
return;
}
int length = api.getTrack().getLength();
float percentage = 100.0F / length * position;
System.out.printf(
"Position changed: %s of %s (%d%%)\n",
formatDuration(position),
formatDuration(length),
(int) percentage
);
}
@Override
public void onPlayBackChanged(boolean isPlaying) {
System.out.println(isPlaying ? "Song started playing" : "Song stopped playing");
}
@Override
public void onSync() {
}
@Override
public void onDisconnect(Exception exception) {
System.out.println("Disconnected: " + exception.getMessage());
// api.stop();
}
});
// Initialize the API
api.initialize();
Fetch an image of the current playing track:
// Create an instance of the Open Spotify API
OpenSpotifyAPI openSpotifyAPI = new OpenSpotifyAPI();
// Download the cover art of the current song
BufferedImage imageTrackCover = openSpotifyAPI.requestImage(track);
You can also skip the current song using the Media Key API:
SpotifyAPI api = SpotifyAPIFactory.createInitialized();
// Send media key to the operating system
api.pressMediaKey(MediaKey.NEXT);
