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!

1

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

2

Confirm the data request in your email

3

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

4

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”

5

Come back to Explorify, import your .zip file, and start exploring!
