Add song to Spotify Queue through Spotify API

Question

With the new endpoint /player of the Spotify Web API we can now control the playback of a Spotify Client. With the endpoint https://api.spotify.com/v1/me/player/play we can add a song to be played.

I was wondering if there is a way to utilize the new endpoints to add a song to the players' queue. I'm planning to write an app to let multiple guests request songs that can be played through Spotify on a party.

Does anyone have an idea?

Answer 1

Okay, I found myself an answer. This feature is right now not supported. But it seems that this is not too far away on their roadmap.

Answer 2

I might be wrong but could it be a workaround to use a playlist in which you add/reorder tracks as much as you want during its playback ?

I know you can do this with the API :
