I’m working on a ruby script taking my followed artists on Spotify, and sending them to Airtable so that I can quickly build my own “Spotify Interface” and do some things like sort by “genres” or add custom tags to my artist to better find them.

So in Airtable, I have a table called “Spotify Artists” with columns (name, genres, spotify link, …). The issue arises with the “Spotify Link” column. It’s of type “URL” and contains links in the following format “spotify:artist:15uNxh8omvRvH71kcdIe2r”. This type of link directs the user straight to the Spotify application, not the artist’s Spotify web page.

The problem is that when I click on this link from Airtable, the link transforms into “http://spotify:artist:15uNxh8omvRvH71kcdIe2r” for example and the link is blocked (redirected to a page with URL “about:blank%23blocked”). After extensive web searching, I’m running out of ideas to solve this issue… I even tried to switch Airtable for Notion, but it’s worse because Notion doesn’t detect “spotify:artist:15uNxh8omvRvH71kcdIe2r” as an URL, therefore doesn’t allow to open it when being clicked.

Does someone have any idea on how to find a solution ? Maybe some other No Code services similar to Airtable (with same features, an API to import my data, …) ?

Because using Airtable was a “MVP” solution before trying to build my custom interface on RoR or React for example. Which would take a long time because I would basically build an Airtable Interface to enjoy the list view, the grid view and all the filtering and sorting options…

Thanks for your help !
