Bypassing Regional Restrictions for a Free Spotify Account
This solution is designed for users residing in countries where Spotify is not officially available and they are forced to register through other countries and also confirm their fake location every 14 days using a VPN.
This method employs GitHub Actions to run a runner with a USA location one day a week. It logs into the desktop Spotify client using your username and password, allowing you to access Spotify as if you were in the USA.
Before getting started, make sure you have the following:
- A GitHub account
- A free Spotify account
- Your Spotify account must have the USA selected as the country ( if you have another country specified, then you can change it yourself to Usa, use Vpn )

tab in your forked repository - Confirm the activation of the runner
- Go to the
If the time trigger has not yet activated, and you want to check if your runner is working successfully, manual launch is provided. Follow these steps:
Steps
-
In the left sidebar, click the "Run SpotifyGeoFreedom Script" button
-
On the right side, a dropdown menu "Run workflow" will appear, inside of which there will be a green "Run workflow" button. Click on it to start the runner
-
Wait for a couple of minutes until the script completes, and its icon turns green
-
Go to the runner actions "Run SpotifyGeoFreedom Script" => "run-powershell"
-
Expand the "Сlient download and login" action
-
If the script outputs "Client response: Successful authentication," then everything is fine; your runner has successfully opened the Spotify client using your login and password
-
If you see the message "Client response: Failed authenticating: login5_invalid_credentials," then most likely you did not correctly set your login and password in the secret variables. Try doing it again. If you are sure that your login and password were set correctly, then in 99% of cases, Spotify has reset your password. Check your email; there should be a password reset form. You need to reset it and set the new password in the secret variable
The launch occurs every Thursday at 2:37 UTC
Login and password are required to access your account from an Usa IP address, thus resetting the 14-day regional restriction counter. While setting up the method, you input your login and password into actions secrets, they are stored there in encrypted form, and only you have access to them. This is absolutely secure
It's relatively rare, but Spotify can detect false suspicious activities. If this happens, you will receive an email with instructions to reset your password. After creating a new password, don't forget to update the PASS secret in your fork's settings.
I have no idea🤣 as long as it's just being tested
