Instructions
Spotify lets you export a file that records every time you've streamed a song. In order to use Explorify, you need that file. The export process is a little complicated, but these instructions will walk you through it, and get you exploring your listening as soon as possible!
Request your extended streaming history from Spotify
Scroll to the "Download your data" section. Before clicking "Request data", be sure to:
- Uncheck “Select account data”
- Check “Select extended streaming history”
Spotify Privacy Page
Confirm the data request in your email
Wait ~3 weeks for Spotify to collect and send you your extended history
Best we can figure, it takes them this long becasue they need to scrape through their archived databases to get all that information. It's a while to wait, but it’s worth it
Download the .zip file from the button in the email
Be sure the email they send you has the subject “Your extended streaming history is ready to download”
Come back to Explorify, import your .zip file, and start exploring!
