A URI can be defined as a Uniform Resource Identifier which is a sequence of different characters that identify a media file or a certain type of logical or physical resource. URI in Spotify refers to a similar type of identifier or an indicator which is an identifier used to identify albums, songs, podcasts and artist’s profile.
The URI in Spotify is a very useful feature because this can be included in websites and apps and clicking on it, will directly open the Spotify App on your device, rather than visiting Spotify.com through your browser.

What does URI mean and what does it stand for?
URI stands for Uniform Resource Identifier. It is a sequence or a string of characters that identifies a particular logical or physical resource. A URI typically includes a string of characters for the filename and it also may contain the path of the directory where the file is located. There are two different types of URIs which are URLs(Uniform Resource Locator) and URNs(Uniform Resource Name). The hierarchy can be represented with the image below.
- Uniform Resource Locator – This is also known as URL in a short form. This type of URL starts by stating which type of internet protocol is being used to locate and access the said resource. It specifies the means on which it is acting upon and obtaining the said resource in a particular situation.
- Uniform Resource Name – This is also known as a URN in a short form. This is also a type of URI but it does not state the type of protocol it is acting upon to get the resource but it will only label the resource with a persistent, location-independent unique identifier.
