I need to get actual Spotify release date of the track (the date, when track appeared on the service). Is it possible to get this date from spotify api?

How do you check when a song was added to Spotify?

Open your playlist in the Spotify desktop app and you'll see the filters Title, Artist, Album, Date Added. Clicking on the Date Added will sort the songs by the first/last time a song was added to the playlist.

How do you get pre releases on Spotify?

We don't offer the ability for fans to pre-save new music before it's released. Some labels and distributors develop their own tools to let fans pre-save music. Reach out to your label or distributor to see if they have any tools available. If you have developer resources you can create your own tool.

How do I get my music on release radar?

You don't need to pitch a song to our playlist editors, but if you do, we'll include your pitched song in your followers' Release Radar. (Note: Pitch at least 7 days before release day to pick the song for Release Radar.)

You can retrieve a track's release date from the album it's part of. Use the Get an Album endpoint and read the release_date attribute. Note that the format of the attribute will depend on the value in the release_date_precision attribute.

Edit: The date when the album appeared on Spotify isn't exposed in the API.
