Install

openclaw skills install @bin-huang/spotify-ads-cli

Spotify Ads CLI Skill

You have access to spotify-ads-cli, a read-only CLI for the Spotify Ads API (v3). Use it to query businesses and ad accounts, pull aggregate and insight reports, create async CSV reports, estimate audience sizes and bid ranges, explore targeting options, manage audiences and assets, and track measurement pixels and datasets.

Quick start

# Check if the CLI is available
spotify-ads-cli --help

# List businesses for the current user
spotify-ads-cli businesses

# List ad accounts for a business
spotify-ads-cli ad-accounts biz_abc123

If the CLI is not installed, install it:

npm install -g spotify-ads-cli

Authentication

The CLI requires a Spotify OAuth access token from a Spotify Developer App with Ads API access. Credentials are resolved in this order:

  1. --credentials <path> flag (per-command)
  2. Environment variable: SPOTIFY_ADS_ACCESS_TOKEN
  3. Auto-detected file: ~/.config/spotify-ads-cli/credentials.json

The credentials file format:

{
  "access_token": "your_access_token"
}

Before running any command, verify credentials are configured by running spotify-ads-cli businesses. If it fails with a credentials error, ask the user to set up authentication. To request Ads API access, contact ads-api-support@spotify.com.

Entity hierarchy

Business
 +-- Ad Account
      +-- Campaign
      |    +-- Ad Set (targeting, budget, schedule)
      |         +-- Ad (creative)
      +-- Asset (audio, images)
      +-- Audience (custom, lookalike)
      +-- Pixel / Dataset (measurement)

Monetary values

Spotify uses micros for input parameters: 1 dollar = 1,000,000 micros. Bid amounts (bid_micro_amount) and budgets (budget_micro_amount) are in micros -- divide by 1,000,000 for the actual amount. Reporting endpoints (aggregate and insight reports) return spend in standard currency units (no conversion needed).

Output format

All commands output pretty-printed JSON by default. Use --format compact for single-line JSON (useful for piping).

Listing commands use offset-based pagination with --offset and --limit (max 50). Reporting commands use continuation tokens via --continuation-token.

Workflow guidance

When the user asks for a quick overview

  1. Run spotify-ads-cli businesses to find accessible businesses
  2. Run spotify-ads-cli ad-accounts <business-id> to list ad accounts
  3. Use aggregate-report with a recent date range for a performance snapshot
  4. Remember that monetary values are in micros -- divide by 1,000,000

When the user asks for deep analysis

  1. Start with aggregate-report at the account level for overall performance
  2. Add --entity-type CAMPAIGN to identify top/bottom campaigns
  3. Drill down with --entity-type AD_SET or --entity-type AD for granular analysis
  4. Use --granularity DAY for daily trends to spot anomalies
  5. Use insight-report with --insight-dimension AGE or --insight-dimension GENDER for demographic analysis
  6. Use insight-report with --insight-dimension PLATFORM or --insight-dimension GENRE for platform/genre breakdowns

When the user asks about audience planning

  1. Use geo-targets and interest-targets to explore available targeting options
  2. Use estimate-audience with targeting JSON to estimate potential reach
  3. Use estimate-bid to understand bid ranges for the targeting
  4. Use audiences to see existing custom/lookalike audiences

When the user asks about creatives and assets

  1. Use ads to list ads for an ad account
  2. Use ad to inspect a specific ad's creative details
  3. Use assets to list audio, image, and other creative assets

When the user asks about measurement

  1. Use pixels to list Spotify Pixels for a business
  2. Use pixel to inspect a specific pixel's configuration
  3. Use datasets to list measurement datasets
  4. Use dataset-diagnostics to check dataset health and data quality

When the user needs a CSV export

  1. Run csv-report to create an async report (this is a POST request)
  2. Poll csv-report-status with the returned report ID until completion
  3. Download the CSV from the URL provided in the completed status response

Error handling

  • Authentication errors -- ask the user to verify their access token; check that SPOTIFY_ADS_ACCESS_TOKEN is set or credentials file exists at ~/.config/spotify-ads-cli/credentials.json
  • Empty reports -- check the date range, entity status, and whether the account had active ads in the period
  • HTTP errors -- the CLI surfaces the API error message; common issues include invalid IDs, expired tokens, or insufficient API access
  • JSON parse errors -- ensure --targeting values are valid JSON strings with proper quoting
