What method does Spotify use to share interactive playlist content on Facebook through their API integration?

I’ve been looking into how different apps integrate with Facebook’s posting system. From what I understand, the Facebook API typically supports basic content types like plain text posts, photos, videos, and simple flash content when apps want to automatically share stuff to user timelines.

However, when I see Spotify sharing playlists on Facebook, they appear as these rich interactive posts featuring album artwork, clickable play controls, and track listings. These shares seem much more advanced than what the standard post types in Facebook’s API documentation describe.

I’m really curious about the technical approach they are using to create these enhanced social media posts. Are they possibly utilizing specific Facebook API endpoints that aren’t widely documented? Or maybe there’s another integration method that I’m missing?

Does anyone know how music streaming services can post such detailed interactive content to Facebook walls programmatically?

spotify’s got this cool integration with fb called open graph. they create these special object types for playlists that lets em show up with that interactive format. it’s way more advanced than a normal post - kinda like how youtube does with videos!
