In-case anyone is curious, Spotify won't authorize SAMBL to be a non developer-mode application due to it's main purpose of aggregating data. Point 5 here: developer.spotify.com/policy#iii-s... "Do not create any product or service which is integrated with streams or content from another service."

Update on Developer Access and Platform Security
We are making changes to Spotify for Developers to better protect creators, partners, listeners and the platform.
100
SAMBL @sambl.lioncat6.com · 10/02/2026
The changes mostly remove endpoints related to bulk fetching of various items but also include removing all externally accessible UPCs and ISRCs from the platform. This is going to harm everyone involved, especially labels and distributors, which will eventually impact users.

Turns out there was an issue with SAMBL's fetching logic (caused by re-using an array) that resulted in a large amount of artists having some missing albums (Issue has been fixed now), but this has been in SAMBL ever since the refactor to Next/React... for almost a year.

Dev Update: SAMBL SoundCloud support is finished! Just waiting a little bit to push the Update and finalize a few things until I finish adding SoundCloud to harmony. Im making good progress, but learning how harmony's code works while making something new takes a minute.

So, Apple Music support isn't happening any time soon... Though... if anyone has a spare key... I wouldn't not be interested...

Artist banners look pretty cool 👀 Also, SoundCloud support coming soon! Working on adding SC to harmony.pulsewidth.org.uk too!

Eventually, I do want to support multi-provider fetching... which wouldn't be too difficult, all things considered
010
SAMBL @sambl.lioncat6.com · 25/08/2025
Dev Update: SAMBL has now been completely abstracted to support different streaming services! Deezer support is complete with tidal coming soon! Due note that *some* features might not work with some providers. In this case, you can see the popularity meter is missing from deezer.
100
SAMBL @sambl.lioncat6.com · 21/08/2025
The Deezer API has no limit to the amount of entities you can get at once, so I can get an artist's entire discography with a single request!

SAMBL @sambl.lioncat6.com · 21/08/2025
Almost done updating the artist page to support multiple providers! Sidenote: The Deezer API is really easy to work with (The tidal API, less so...)

SAMBL @sambl.lioncat6.com · 10/08/2025
Tidal Artist Search is now also working! It was, however, significantly more annoying, due to the really object based way the tidal API is structured.

Dev note: For SAMBL, I want to focus on starting to integrate more streaming services For sure planned (Already have keys/libraries): - Deezer - Tidal Waiting on keys/libraries: - @bandcamp.com (Doesn't have an actual API) - Qobuz (Playing hard to get) - Apple Music - Amazon Music (Closed Beta)

SAMBL @sambl.lioncat6.com · 19/07/2025
Individual album refreshing is now working! Refreshing albums like this will bypass the data cache for MusicBrainz, which should allow for greater cache times. I may add a similar button for entire artists eventually.
