The red hot music streaming service, which recently made its U.S. debut, will open its catalogue of more than 15 million tracks to third-party iPhone and iPad app developers.
The application package, Libspotify for iOS, is available to Spotify Premium users. It rounds out Spotify's API suite, also available for Windows, Mac OS and Linux.
"We hope this will enable a new category of iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch applications with Spotify inside and allow for more immersive music experiences within iOS apps," Director of Platform Sten Garmark says.
The API release is important considering the bevy of music subscription services competing for end user attention. Now, Spotify has the opportunity to piggyback on the popularity of Apple's iOS platform to reach an even greater audience.
