What is Spotify's web player URL?

Spotify’s web player URL is open.spotify.com. It gives users browser-based access to Spotify without requiring the dedicated desktop or mobile application, provided they sign in and use a supported browser.

Spotify’s web player grew out of the company’s effort to make its catalog available across more computers and operating systems. Unlike an installed app, it runs inside a browser, making it useful on shared computers, school or workplace machines where software installation may be restricted, and devices that do not support the full desktop client.

The web player is not the same as Spotify’s main corporate website or artist-management tools. The address open.spotify.com is the listening interface, while Spotify for Artists is a separate service for creators and teams. Spotify links can also open in the mobile or desktop app depending on the device and the user’s settings.

A related limitation is that the web player historically has not offered the same offline-download capability as Spotify’s apps. Browser playback can also vary by account, browser, device, and current Spotify feature rollout, but the canonical web-player address remains open.spotify.com.
