# Spotify API Experiments
This is a collection of experimentations with the Spotipy python library.
All of these scripts will request an auth token for a particular user (username arg) upon startup
From my experimentation so far, this will remmeber that the app was previously authorized for whatever "authorization scope" was approved by the user at the oauth screen
All of these scripts will request an auth token for a particular user (username arg) upon startup. When this is triggered, the browser (on the machine the script is running on) will open with a spotify login/approval screen. If the user does not authorize the app, the script will die with a traceback.
There is an option to change the auth-type to "Client Credentials Manager" mode, where only non-user API endpoints may be accessed. This is accomplished by simply not providing any arguments to `spotipy.util.authorize_api()` if the id and secret are configured inside `set_env.sh`.
From my experimentation so far, this will remember that the app was previously authorized for whatever "authorization scope" was approved by the user at the oauth screen. If a new auth-scope is presented, the
user will be prompted to authorize the application again and mark the "new" requested permissions.
save_now_playing.py - This script will poll for the user's now playing track every 10s and update a text file
get_user_auth.py - "Hello World" from the docs, this shows how to authorize using env
show_all_playlist.py - Unlike the name suggests, I did not see all my playlists. This could be an auth scope issue however
save_all_playlist.py - This script will pull all of the user's playlists into .json files. This currently exports too much data to be usable by anything yet
top_tracks.py - This will save the user's top 20 tracks to a .json file. This currently exports too much data
to be usable by anything yet
## To get started:
* Create an app on Spotify's Developer console - https://beta.developer.spotify.com
