I’m working on a Spotify app and I’m stuck with a problem. We need to show some pictures that are stored on our own server. These images are part of our changing content, so we can’t just save them locally in the app.
The thing is, Spotify doesn’t let us use outside links directly. So I’m not sure how to make this work. Does anyone know a way to get around this and show our server-based images in the app?
I’d really appreciate any help or ideas on this. It’s a key part of our app’s design, so figuring this out would be great. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
hey, i had this problem too! what worked for me was using a CDN (content delivery network). it’s like a middle-man that stores your images and gives them spotify-friendly URLs. might be worth checking out. it’s pretty easy to set up and worked great for my app. good luck!
I encountered a similar issue while developing a Spotify app. The solution that worked for me was to configure a proxy server which retrieves the images from your external server and then serves them directly to your app. While not the most refined option, this workaround complies with Spotify’s restrictions. Additionally, converting images to base64 strings on the server and sending these to the app could help bypass the issue with external URLs. Each method comes with its own set of challenges regarding performance and complexity, so it’s essential to test what best suits your project.
