Get play count of a track from Spotify API

Question

Is it possible to get the play count of a song (for the current user)? I only found Toplist and the Track class, but neither tells me how often a user listened to a song.

Answer 1

As far as I know there is no way to retrieve that data at the moment.

Answer 2

This is not possible through the Spotify API right now. The Last.fm API does offer information similar to this, as a potential work-around.

Answer 3

Marked as not right now on the Spotify support site.

However, this article from 538 a journalist got a look at Nestify where that information is available.

I would assume that the information would eventually be made available via the API.
