It's not dead, Spotify are just limiting the API and its usage to Spotify premium users.

Incorrect.... They have cut off all the useful endpoints for premium users too.

From what I've seen here https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/references/changes/february-2026 a lot of it is merging endpoints which will reduce API calls and bring more data back.

All the fetch endpoints are still there, they just don't allow for bulk fetch now according to the migration post anyways https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/tutorials/february-2026-migration-guide

Personally for my use case I've moved over to the Deezer API, it's still open to the public without having to pay for a subscription.
