## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to programmatically purchase Spotify plays using USDC stablecoin payments via the x402 protocol, especially in automated music promotion workflows where human-completed micro-tasks are acceptable and a polling-based status model is tolerable.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient USDC balance — payment fails and order is not created
- Invalid or private Spotify track URL — order may be rejected by task workers
- Network or x402 payment protocol error — no order created, no charge
- Track account not public — workers cannot complete the task, order may stall
- Service overload or no available workers — order delayed or unfulfilled

⚠️ The profile must be set to "public" or the order will not start. After the completion, you can close it again.

🔴 Don't use any other link format, if you do order will be cancelled.

🔴 If the order is marked as completed, but you still don't see the plays counter updated, just wait a couple of days to see the changes.
