See what friends and followed people are playing with Spotify API

Question

The spotify client lets you see friends or people you follow are playing. Is it possible to do that with the API? I looked through the whole API Reference but couldn't find anything.

In the spotify client this is under "recent activity".

Answer 1

No, it is not currently available with the Spotify Web API. There is already an existing feature request about this issue on Spotify Web API Issue Tracker Github page. Feel free to +1 there :)
