Want a memorable URL instead of a random one? Use custom slugs.
  1. Click customize below the URL input field
  2. Choose a domain (optional):
    • sptfy.in (default)
    • artist.sptfy.in
    • playlist.sptfy.in
    • track.sptfy.in
    • profile.sptfy.in
  3. Type your custom slug (minimum 4 characters)
sptfy.in/my-favorite-jazz
The slug field shows real-time validation:
  • 🟢 Green border = Available
  • 🟡 Yellow border = Checking…
  • 🔴 Red border = Taken or invalid
Custom slugs are automatically sanitized:
  • Converted to lowercase
  • Special characters replaced with hyphens
  • Leading/trailing hyphens removed
Some slugs are reserved for sptfy.in system pages and cannot be used:
  • recent, top, about, terms, privacy
  • login, prev, dash, debug, api, admin
If you try to use a reserved slug, you’ll see an error.
Custom slugs must:
  • Be at least 4 characters long
  • Contain only letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscores
  • Not exceed 80 characters
  • Be unique (not already taken)
Examples:
  • ✅ my-playlist
  • ✅ jazz_2024
  • ✅ workout-mix
  • ❌ abc (too short)
  • ❌ my playlist (spaces not allowed)
  • ❌ recent (reserved)
Every shortened link comes with built-in click tracking.

​
What Happens Behind the Scenes

When you shorten a link, here’s what sptfy.in does:
1

URL Validation

The URL is checked to ensure it’s a valid Spotify URL. Only open.spotify.com and spotify.link URLs are accepted.
// From src/lib/utils.js
const spotifyUrlPattern = /https:\/\/open\.spotify\.com\/(track|album|playlist|artist|show|episode)\/[a-zA-Z0-9]+/;
2

Bot Detection

Cloudflare Turnstile verifies you’re human (not a bot). This happens automatically in the background.
// From src/routes/+page.svelte
<Turnstile
  siteKey={turnstileKey}
  theme="dark"
  appearance="interaction-only"
  on:callback={(event) => {
    turnstileResponse = event.detail.token;
  }}
/>
3

Slug Generation or Validation

If you provided a custom slug, sptfy.in checks if it’s available. Otherwise, it generates a random 4-character slug.
// From src/lib/pocketbase.js
const alphabet = '0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';
const generateNanoId = customAlphabet(alphabet, 4);
4

Database Storage

The mapping (short slug → Spotify URL) is saved to PocketBase.
// From src/routes/api/links/+server.js
const data = {
  from: spotifyUrl,
  id_url: slug,
  subdomain: 'sptfy.in',
  enable: true
};
await pb.collection('random_short').create(data);

Troubleshooting

This error appears if you click the paste button but your clipboard doesn’t contain a Spotify URL.Solution: Copy a Spotify link first, then click paste. Or manually paste the URL into the input field.
The button may stay on validating... if Cloudflare Turnstile fails to load or verify.Solutions:
  • Wait a few seconds—Turnstile usually completes automatically
  • Check your ad blocker settings (some block Turnstile)
  • Refresh the page and try again
Your custom slug is already in use by another link.Solution: Choose a different slug. The input field shows real-time availability as you type.
You’ve created too many links in a short time period.Solution: Wait a few minutes before creating more links. Rate limits reset automatically.
