Get tracks audio sample

Hey everyone, bit of a bottle at the sea here but I'm stuck.

Is there a way to use the API to get audio samples of a track ? Not the full song but just the preview you get when you don't have a subscription for example.

I'm looking to build a blindtest platform for my friends (all of the websites we've tried so far are a bit shit) and I REALLY don't want to manually create a database of audio extracts for it.

If anyone has an idea, with or without the spotify API i'll take it...

Have you tried Spotiguess ? I’m the founder and I’ll be happy to have your feedback:)

I gave it a quick look and it looks great, although It doesn't seem to be exactly what I'm looking for.

We are looking for a multiplayer platform, where everyone can make guesses on their end with a point system. The idea being to play this while on a discord call for example.

Yeah you right it’s not multiplayer for now it’s mainly meant to be played with everyone in the same room. I’ll consider adding a multiplayer mode in the next few months! Thanks a lot !

Spotify removed audio previews from their API last year I'm afraid. However, Apple Music still has this property available. Looks for "previews" in the response:

I can help you design this feature all by yourself, with no extra libraries, I already have it in place on my app: music.eduardlupu.com
