Welcome to Spotipy!
|
||
===================================
|
||
*Spotipy* is a lightweight Python library for the `Spotify Web API
|
||
<https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/>`_. With *Spotipy*
|
||
you get full access to all of the music data provided by the Spotify platform.
|
||
|
||
Here's a quick example of using *Spotipy* to list the names of all the albums
|
||
released by the artist 'Birdy'::
|
||
|
||
import spotipy
|
||
|
||
birdy_uri = 'spotify:artist:2WX2uTcsvV5OnS0inACecP'
|
||
spotify = spotipy.Spotify()
|
||
|
||
results = spotify.artist_albums(birdy_uri, album_type='album')
|
||
albums = results['items']
|
||
while results['next']:
|
||
results = spotify.next(results)
|
||
albums.extend(results['items'])
|
||
|
||
for album in albums:
|
||
print(album['name'])
|
||
|
||
Here's another example showing how to get 30 second samples and cover art
|
||
for the top 10 tracks for Led Zeppelin::
|
||
|
||
import spotipy
|
||
|
||
lz_uri = 'spotify:artist:36QJpDe2go2KgaRleHCDTp'
|
||
|
||
spotify = spotipy.Spotify()
|
||
results = spotify.artist_top_tracks(lz_uri)
|
||
|
||
for track in results['tracks'][:10]:
|
||
print 'track : ' + track['name']
|
||
print 'audio : ' + track['preview_url']
|
||
print 'cover art: ' + track['album']['images'][0]['url']
|
||
print
|
||
|
||
Finally, here's an example that will get the URL for an artist image given the
|
||
artist's name::
|
||
|
||
import spotipy
|
||
import sys
|
||
|
||
spotify = spotipy.Spotify()
|
||
|
||
if len(sys.argv) > 1:
|
||
name = ' '.join(sys.argv[1:])
|
||
else:
|
||
name = 'Radiohead'
|
||
|
||
results = spotify.search(q='artist:' + name, type='artist')
|
||
items = results['artists']['items']
|
||
if len(items) > 0:
|
||
artist = items[0]
|
||
print artist['name'], artist['images'][0]['url']
|
||
|
||
|
||
Features
|
||
========
|
||
*Spotipy* supports all of the features of the Spotify Web API including access
|
||
to all end points, and support for user authorization. For details on the
|
||
capabilities you are encouraged to review the `Spotify Web
|
||
API <https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/>`_ documentation.
|
||
|
||
Installation
|
||
============
|
||
Install *Spotipy* with::
|
||
|
||
pip install SpotifyWebAPI
|
||
|
||
Or with::
|
||
|
||
easy_install SpotifyWebAPI
|
||
|
||
Or you can get the source from github at https://github.com/plamere/spotipy
|
||
|
||
Getting Started
|
||
===============
|
||
|
||
Non-Authorized requests
|
||
=======================
|
||
For methods that do not require authorization, simply create a Spotify object
|
||
and start making method calls like so::
|
||
|
||
import spotipy
|
||
spotify = spotipy.Spotify()
|
||
results = spotify.search(q='artist:' + name, type='artist')
|
||
print results
|
||
|
||
Authorized requests
|
||
=======================
|
||
Many methods require user authentication. For these requests you will need to
|
||
generate an authorization token that indicates that the user has granted
|
||
permission for your application to perform the given task. You will need to
|
||
register your app to get the credentials necessary to make authorized calls.
|
||
Register your app at
|
||
`My Applications
|
||
<https://developer.spotify.com/my-applications/#!/applications>`_.
|
||
|
||
|
||
*Spotipy* provides a
|
||
utility method ``util.prompt_for_user_token`` that will attempt to authorize the
|
||
user. You can pass your app credentials directly into the method as arguments,
|
||
or if you are reluctant to immortalize your app credentials in your source code,
|
||
you can set environment variables like so::
|
||
|
||
export SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID='your-spotify-client-id'
|
||
export SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET='your-spotify-client-secret'
|
||
export SPOTIPY_REDIRECT_URI='your-app-redirect-url'
|
||
|
||
Call ``util.prompt_for_user_token`` method with the username and the
|
||
desired scope (see `Using
|
||
Scopes <https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/using-scopes/>`_ for information
|
||
about scopes) and credentials. This will coordinate the user authorization via
|
||
your web browser. The credentials are cached locally and are used to automatically
|
||
re-authorized expired tokens.
|
||
|
||
Here's an example of getting user authorization to read a user's saved tracks::
|
||
|
||
import sys
|
||
import spotipy
|
||
import spotipy.util as util
|
||
|
||
scope = 'user-library-read'
|
||
|
||
if len(sys.argv) > 1:
|
||
username = sys.argv[1]
|
||
else:
|
||
print "Usage: %s username" % (sys.argv[0],)
|
||
sys.exit()
|
||
|
||
token = util.prompt_for_user_token(username, scope)
|
||
|
||
if token:
|
||
sp = spotipy.Spotify(auth=token)
|
||
results = sp.current_user_saved_tracks()
|
||
for item in results['items']:
|
||
track = item['track']
|
||
print track['name'] + ' - ' + track['artists'][0]['name']
|
||
else:
|
||
print "Can't get token for", username
|
||
|
||
IDs URIs and URLs
|
||
=======================
|
||
*Spotipy* supports a number of different ID types:
|
||
|
||
- Spotify URI - The resource identifier that you can enter, for example, in
|
||
the Spotify Desktop client's search box to locate an artist, album, or
|
||
track. Example: spotify:track:6rqhFgbbKwnb9MLmUQDhG6
|
||
- Spotify URL - An HTML link that opens a track, album, app, playlist or other
|
||
Spotify resource in a Spotify client. Example:
|
||
http://open.spotify.com/track/6rqhFgbbKwnb9MLmUQDhG6
|
||
- Spotify ID - A base-62 number that you can find at the end of the Spotify
|
||
URI (see above) for an artist, track, album, etc. Example:
|
||
6rqhFgbbKwnb9MLmUQDhG6
|
||
|
||
In general, any *Spotipy* method that needs an artist, album, track or playlist ID
|
||
will accept ids in any of the above form
|
||
|
||
Examples
|
||
========
|
||
Here are a few more examples of using *Spotipy*.
|
||
|
||
Add tracks to a playlist::
|
||
|
||
import pprint
|
||
import sys
|
||
|
||
import spotipy
|
||
import spotipy.util as util
|
||
|
||
if len(sys.argv) > 3:
|
||
username = sys.argv[1]
|
||
playlist_id = sys.argv[2]
|
||
track_ids = sys.argv[3:]
|
||
else:
|
||
print "Usage: %s username playlist_id track_id ..." % (sys.argv[0],)
|
||
sys.exit()
|
||
|
||
scope = 'playlist-modify-public'
|
||
token = util.prompt_for_user_token(username, scope)
|
||
|
||
if token:
|
||
sp = spotipy.Spotify(auth=token)
|
||
sp.trace = False
|
||
results = sp.user_playlist_add_tracks(username, playlist_id, track_ids)
|
||
print results
|
||
else:
|
||
print "Can't get token for", username
|
||
|
||
|
||

|
||
# shows a user's playlists (need to be authenticated via oauth)
|
||
|
||
import sys
|
||
import spotipy
|
||
import spotipy.util as util

|
||
track = item['track']
|
||
print " %d %32.32s %s" % (i, track['artists'][0]['name'],
|
||
track['name'])
|
||
|
||
|
||
if __name__ == '__main__':
|
||
if len(sys.argv) > 1:
|
||
username = sys.argv[1]
|
||
else:
|
||
print "Whoops, need your username!"
|
||
print "usage: python user_playlists.py [username]"
|
||
sys.exit()
|
||
|
||
token = util.prompt_for_user_token(username)
|
||
|
||
if token:
|
||
sp = spotipy.Spotify(auth=token)
|
||
playlists = sp.user_playlists(username)
|
||
for playlist in playlists['items']:
|
||
if playlist['owner']['id'] == username:
|
||
print
|
||
print playlist['name']
|
||
print ' total tracks', playlist['tracks']['total']
|
||
results = sp.user_playlist(username, playlist['id'],
|
||
fields="tracks,next")
|
||
tracks = results['tracks']
|
||
show_tracks(tracks)
|
||
while tracks['next']:
|
||
tracks = sp.next(tracks)
|
