Kaivo is a fully managed data platform that syncs your Spotify Advertising data into a Google BigQuery warehouse and keeps it up to date automatically. There is no pipeline to build and no infrastructure to run, so you can spend your time analysing your marketing and sales data instead of moving it.

- Connect your Spotify Advertising account.
- Choose which tables to sync.
- Wait for the initial sync to finish.
- Query your data in BigQuery or your favourite AI or BI tool.
Authenticating Spotify Advertising
Section titled “Authenticating Spotify Advertising”Authenticate with your Spotify Advertising credentials. You provide:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Client Secret | |
| The Client Secret of your Spotify developer application. |
| | Refresh Token |
The refresh token obtained from the OAuth 2.0 authorization flow.
|
Prerequisites
Spotify Ads only supports OAuth, so you need your own Spotify developer application with Ads API access. You must have a Spotify Ads Manager account to use this connector.
- Register a developer application in the Spotify for Developers dashboard, selecting Ads API when asked which APIs you plan to use. Note its Client ID and Client Secret, and add a redirect URI (e.g.
http://127.0.0.1:8080/callback). - Accept the Ads API Terms for your Client ID — requests fail until this is done.
- Complete the OAuth 2.0 authorization-code flow once to obtain a Refresh Token (see Spotify’s authorization guide).
Then enter those values below along with your Ad Account ID.
Note: Spotify expires refresh tokens 6 months after authorization, so you’ll need to repeat step 3 and update the Refresh Token roughly twice a year.

How the Spotify Advertising sync works
Section titled “How the Spotify Advertising sync works”After the first load, Kaivo keeps your BigQuery warehouse up to date for you. Where Spotify Advertising supports it, each sync pulls only new and changed records so it stays fast; otherwise it refreshes the whole table. Every record keeps its original ID, so you won’t get duplicate rows.
Frequently asked questions
Section titled “Frequently asked questions”How long does the initial sync take for Spotify Advertising?
Section titled “How long does the initial sync take for Spotify Advertising?”It depends on how much history is in your Spotify Advertising account. Most initial syncs finish within minutes, while large accounts can take a few hours. After that, syncs only fetch new and changed records, so they’re much faster.
Can I sync only some tables or columns?
Section titled “Can I sync only some tables or columns?”Yes. You pick which tables to sync when you set up the connection and can change the selection later. Tables you don’t select are never copied to your warehouse.
What happens when Spotify Advertising’s schema changes?
Section titled “What happens when Spotify Advertising’s schema changes?”New fields are never added automatically. You choose which fields to sync, so data you haven’t selected (sensitive personal data, for example) never lands in your warehouse. When a new field appears, it becomes available for you to add. What happens to removed or renamed fields depends on a table’s sync mode: full-refresh tables always match what’s currently in Spotify Advertising, so dropped fields disappear, while incremental tables keep their existing columns and history, so an old field stays and newly added fields fill in over time.
How do I handle GDPR or data deletion requests?
Section titled “How do I handle GDPR or data deletion requests?”Your data lives in your own Kaivo-managed BigQuery warehouse, so the most direct option is to delete or anonymise specific records right in BigQuery. If you delete data in Spotify Advertising instead, full-refresh tables drop it on the next sync, while incremental tables keep it, so you would remove the row in BigQuery or ask us to run a full refresh. To remove everything, delete the Spotify Advertising connector in Kaivo and all of its synced data is deleted with it.
