Spotipy - a Python client for The Spotify Web API

Description

Spotipy is a thin client library for the Spotify Web API.

This is my bootleg version where I have started by merging in various PRs of interest to me (that also have not yet been merged upstream). I might also work on expanding the library and possibly even bug fixing.

Documentation

Spotipy's full documentation is online at Spotipy Documentation.

Installation

If you already have Python on your system you can install the library simply by downloading the distribution, unpack it and install in the usual fashion:

python setup.py install

You can also install it using a popular package manager with

pip install spotipy

easy_install spotipy

Dependencies

Requests - spotipy requires the requests package to be installed

Quick Start

To get started, simply install spotipy, create a Spotify object and call methods:

import spotipy
sp = spotipy.Spotify()

results = sp.search(q='weezer', limit=20)
for i, t in enumerate(results['tracks']['items']):
    print ' ', i, t['name']

A full set of examples can be found in the online documentation and in the Spotipy examples directory.

Reporting Issues

If you have suggestions, bugs or other issues specific to this library, file them here. Or just send me a pull request.
