How to Find the Spotify URI for an Artist, Track, Album, Podcast or Playlist

Spotify URI’s are different to normal URL’s and are required for a number of Spotify tools including Spotify Promo Codes and some third party tools. Spotify assigns these unique identifiers to every artist, album, track, podcast and playlist.

Spotify made changes to the desktop and web apps meaning it now shows “Copy link” or “Copy embed code”.

There is a simple way to grab the URI.

On a Mac, hold down the Control or Option key and it will change from Copy Link to Copy Spotify URI.

On a PC hold down the Control or Alt key and it will change from Copy Link to Copy Spotify URI.
