Depending on deprecated Audio Features API for my Thesis. Help!

[tomasoliveira]

Hi!

I found out today that the Audio Features API has been discontinued.

For the last 6 months (and for the next few months) I've been working on my master's degree thesis, which basically depends on the Audio Features API. Without it, I'm going to have to completely rework the idea and it's very difficult for me to finish my studies in the allotted time. Is there, please, any solution? I'm getting desperate!

I have an app created for another college assignment in 2023 - supposedly they say that old apps can still use these features - but I can't, the same thing happens using this one or a new one. I'm out of solutions.

I've considered the last.fm API or something similar, but I specifically need features that tell me about the music in more subjective terms (danceability, valence, etc.), because I'm working on a sonification project that creates music automatically, based on this.

I'm out of options. Please, Spotify Team, is there any way you can give me access to these features for my project?

Thanks to everyone in advance

Having the same issues. Why is this? It seems that both audio-features and audio-analysis are deprecated. Why has this changed all the sudden and is there an alternative that we can use?

Right now the only solution is to use available CSV data sets of Spotify Data...
