I'm aware that not every endpoint provides an ISRC code for tracks. But can it be assumed with certainty that every track has an ISRC code when queried directly from the https://api.spotify.com/v1/tracks endpoint? Are there cases where no ISRC is provided?

No, there's no guarantee that the ISRC code is provided for every track, so your application should be able to handle when it isn't available.

  • Thank you, is there any way to link all versions of the same track without an ISRC? – Alex Harris Dec 11 '16 at 16:11
  • It's possible to find other releases of the same track. What's your use case? – Michael Thelin Dec 12 '16 at 08:02
  • The use case is storing metadata on a track regardless of what version/market of the track is sent up. The issue is how to identify on our backend if we already have a version/market of that track in our database. – Alex Harris Dec 12 '16 at 16:06
  • I see. Well, you could use Track Relinking to figure out if there are other versions out there in case you're looking for a particular market, https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/track-relinking-guide/, or use the search endpoint to find tracks with similar names. It's not perfect, but it could help. – Michael Thelin Dec 14 '16 at 09:04
