Can't figure out how to show the tracks from playlists returned by the search function.

user_playlist_remove_specific_occurrences_of_tracks raises an AttributeError because it's expecting a different tracks argument format to the one documented. Fix submitted in #36.

Previously, user_playlists returned a complete list of the users playlists, including starred playlists, and collaborative playlists they created/followed.

Now, the request does not return starred playlists or collaborative playlists.

http://spotipy.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ reads:
"If you think you’ve found a bug, let us know at Spotify Issues"
should be
"If you think you’ve found a bug, let us know at Spotipy Issues"

The Spotify API allows you to specify the market in the search function, and to specify if the market should be inferred from the auth token:
https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/search-item/

It would be nice to have this feature in Spotipy.

I searched for something and search results says:

"Python method, in Welcome to Spotipy" is perhaps not what you want it to display in search results.
It's picking up the name of the project from the title in index.rst "Welcome to Spotipy!" ?

I've been trying to get authentication up and running with this API, I have followed the steps in the documentation and attempted to use http://localhost:8888/callback as the redirect URI both in the spotify developer page and in my app.

Has anyone else been able to get this working in Python3 and if so what did you use for your redirects?

Users have to log in again when the token is refreshed. Fix submitted at #19.

So maybe I'm missing something here, but when I run the example program and it gives me a link to visit, I get to a log in screen, but when I try to click log in, nothing happens. I can click the log in through facebook link and this logs me in but when I paste it as the redirected link in spotipy, it raises an exception:

    raise SpotifyOauthError(response.reason)
spotipy.oauth2.SpotifyOauthError: Bad Request

Am I doing something wrong? I have my credentials set as environment variables and I'm using http://example.com/callback/ as my redirect uri

how can i get some tracks?
i use sp.search() (example: sp.search('rap god','1','0','track') )
i want to get (rap god-eminem)
what use i query?

I've been trying countless different methods, and getting the code and callback, but my application keeps saying "bad request". See below:

# set environment variables
os.environ["SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID"] = c_id
os.environ["SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET"] = c_secret
os.environ["SPOTIPY_REDIRECT_URI"] = callback_uri
token = util.prompt_for_user_token(username, scope)

and the output:

I ran the sample code "Shows the contents of every playlist owned by a user:" from here:

and got this Terminal sequence:

            User authentication requires interaction with your

The same happened after I removed the "remembered" Spotify credential from my browsers (Safari, Chrome).

I am trying to access Spotify playlists using the spotipy and pbl libraries. See http://pbl.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ for the latter.

I have this:

import sys
from pbl import *
import spotipy
import spotipy.util as util


def fetch(): #pbl methods here

    classic_rock = Sample(PlaylistSource('Rock Classics'), sample_size=10)
    new_music = Sample(PlaylistSource('New Music Tuesday'), sample_size=5)
    combined = Shuffler(Concatenate([classic_rock, new_music]))
    show_source(combined)

scope = 'playlist-modify-public'

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, client_id='a_valid_id', client_secret='a_valid_secret', redirect_uri='http://localhost:8888/callback')

if token:
    sp = spotipy.Spotify(auth=token)
    fetch()

If I bypass the snippet relative to pbl methods and the pbl function call above and proceed, I am granted access.

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

Otherwise access is denied, and I get spotipy.oauth2.SpotifyOauthError: No client id

what is going on here? please help.

What is the recommendation of this team for how people should refresh tokens? As it stands all examples are written as though you've just gotten your tokens from a prompt. If I go deep into oauth2.py I can find a private method to refresh tokens however, that requires a whole different object that the standard spotipy instance does not need.

This is a critical part of the library. How do you anticipate this flow working?

Hey I'm just starting to get familiar with the api, and I'm just trying out a simple task. I'm trying to add the top 3 tracks of a given artist to a playlist.

I know authentication worked because I can access the playlists, and I set my scope to playlist-modify-private and public.

I use the following command:

sp.user_playlist_add_tracks(user, playlist_id, song['uri'])

This is the value of song['uri']:

song_uri
Out[20]: u'spotify:track:2Zb7wnGUnNPCas2E0wWSQ5'

Here's the error message:

http status: 400, code:-1 - the requested resource could not be found: https://api.spotify.com/v1/users/121142162/playlists/3LhmfLB345HX1tty3Z99u7/tracks?uris=s%2Cp%2Co%2Ct%2Ci%2Cf%2Cy%2C%3A%2Ct%2Cr%2Ca%2Cc%2Ck%2C%3A%2C2%2CZ%2Cb%2C7%2Cw%2Cn%2CG%2CU%2Cn%2CN%2CP%2CC%2Ca%2Cs%2C2%2CE%2C0%2Cw%2CW%2CS%2CQ%2C5

It seems like the uri's match up, ignoring how colons were decoded. Any ideas what the issue is?

hello all,

when I execute
results = sp.current_user_saved_albums()

I get the error
AttributeError: 'Spotify' object has no attribute 'current_user_saved_albums'

Contrary sp.current_user_saved_tracks() works fine. Does anyone has an idea why?

Thanks for any help

Support python3 without breaking python2 support

Spotify recently made an update to their Spotify Viral Charts, which used to be available here: http://charts.spotify.com/.

They are now available only via the web player itself: https://play.spotify.com/chart/6o9o1UphRtyv10VPuDT80D and I was wondering if there is a Spotipy solution to grab the songs from the Viral charts into Python.

As an example, here is the Global Viral 50 chart I would like to pull data on: spotify:app:chart:6o9o1UphRtyv10VPuDT80D

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

https://github.com/plamere/spotipy/tree/master/examples/
I tried to run user_playlists_contents.py but it doesn't launch the window.
I have set the proper credentials as per the instructions.

I am developing a webapp with Flask and Python and want the user to login via spotify on my home page.

Please help!!!

Print statements, even in exception handling, makes it impossible for those using your client to actually control the output while building their own application. I'd be happy to provide a PR if it would be appreciated, but don't want to sync time into it if not.

I'm using spotipy on Heroku as a Slack bot - which works awesomely, but I've had to store the cached token on S3. I've extended SpotifyOAuth and overridden get_cached_token and _save_token_info to do this, but it'd be useful if it was possible to do this without extensio?. This would also allow for storing the token in a DB rather than in a file.

Maybe the simplest approach could be load_cached_token and save_cached_token methods, which can be overridden to cater for different storage approaches?

This is a detail but maybe useful for beginners. In example show_my_saved_tracks, the output does not display all saved tracks but only some of them. To fix that, something similar to what's done in user_playlists_contents should be used, eg

results = sp.current_user_saved_tracks()
show_tracks(results)
while results['next']:
  results = sp.next(results)
  show_tracks(results)

with

def show_tracks(results):
    for i, item in enumerate(results['items']):
        track = item['track']
        print("   %d %32.32s %s" % (i, track['artists'][0]['name'], track['name']))

i know with a link that is in the database when you search an artist i can open the page of the artist, but is it posible only obtain the biography?

Hi Paul,

I'm not sure if this is a GAE problem, a requests problem, or something on Spotify's end, but I'm opening this here to make sure it's not the latter.

I have some python code that looks similar to the following:

import spotipy
Spotify = spotipy.Spotify()

def some_task_queue_handler(request):
    spotify_uri = get_spotify_uri_from_task_queue_request(request)
    metadata = Spotify.track(spotify_uri)
    logging.info("metadata is: %s", metadata)
    return None, 204

The issue that I'm running into is that both locally and when deployed, the spotipy requests are resulting in a redirect loop, where the location set by the redirect response is exactly the same every time. I've modified the requests session handler a little bit to print out the history that it collects when following redirects, and I get 30 items that look identical to this:

CaseInsensitiveDict({'content-length': '178', 'via': 'HTTP/1.1 GWA', 'x-google-cache-control': 'remote-fetch', 'server': 'nginx', 'connection': 'keep-alive', 'location': 'https://api.spotify.com/v1/tracks/2wNO69huzAY2WBnigjXMQ4', 'date': 'Thu, 09 Apr 2015 20:32:17 GMT', 'content-type': 'text/html'})

Is this bouncing happening on the Spotify end? Possibly due to some user agent or origin IP? Or Do I need to set an auth parameter to make the call from a GAE server?

When I run curl on the same URL from my local command line, I get a valid response:

rknLA:~() $ curl -v https://api.spotify.com/v1/tracks/2wNO69huzAY2WBnigjXMQ4                                                                                                                                                                          09.04.2015 [22:52:11]

When I try authenticate a user I get an unexplained error when visiting the authentication URL.

After investigating this I found that when urllib encodes a redirect URL it removes the 'http://' from the beginning e.g. 'http://davecarpie.github.io' becomes 'davecarpie.github.io' rather than 'http%3A%2F%2Fdavecarpie.github.io'.

I tried authenticating manually using the url with the http:// in it and was successful. When registering a new application Spotify also forces you to have the protocol in the URI so I'm fairly sure that is the reason authentication is unsuccessful.

Using the requests library encodes the URI properly so using that instead of urllib could work? I'm happy to make the change and submit a pull request if you want?

Got an import error on first run of the spotipy module. Doing "pip install simplejson" fixed this issue.

Bit of an API noob, I figured I'd verify my goal is possible before going down the rabbit hole of debugging.

I'm hoping to pull track and artist names from the geo-specific Sounds of Spotify playlists:
https://eliotvb.cartodb.com/viz/971d1556-0959-11e5-b1a4-0e9d821ea90d/embed_map

The playlists are registered as public, but I can't access them without authentication via Spotipy. Is this possible once I get the authentication working?

Hi!

I'm suddenly no longer able to access analysis_url and very curious to find out if I'm the only one experiencing this problem. I'm getting error status 401 with the message "No token provided". I'm using the prompt_for_user_token function to authenticate.

Thank you in advance!

I am sporadically getting 500 server errors when using the API.

I've described the issue here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25388122/spotify-web-api-gives-500-errors-often

When i import spotipy, i am told there is no module named client? What am i doing wrong?

I had this working for 2+ months but today it was erroring intermittently????
Would appreciate your help!

I think there's an issue when using the makefile, in the docs folder. I'm doing the command
make man
For some reason, I keep getting this error:

make: sphinx-build: No such file or directory
make: *** [man] Error 1

Hi there,

I have built an app locally using spotipy (thanks for your awesome code!) and I'm trying to push it online with Heroku. I use the util.prompt_for_user_token() function to authorise the user_playlist_create function. Since the util function requires a command line raw input I can't understand how it will work when I push it online - can you a suggest a way that I can by pass this problem?

Many thanks!

Issy

Hello,

Just up front this may all be my ignorance of this api, but I'm currently not able to be login.

I'm calling

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, 
                        client_id='my_id_here', 
                        client_secret='my_secret_here',
                        redirect_uri='https:\\www.google.com')

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

and the issue I am running into is that when I login my web browser opens and goes to Spotify's error page and when I enter that url I (obviously) run into this:

line 16, in <module>
    redirect_uri='https:\\www.google.com')
  File "/Users/duncanwilson/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/spotipy/util.py", line 86, in prompt_for_user_token
    token_info = sp_oauth.get_access_token(code)
  File "/Users/duncanwilson/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/spotipy/oauth2.py", line 210, in get_access_token
    raise SpotifyOauthError(response.reason)
spotipy.oauth2.SpotifyOauthError: Bad Request

I've learned that this error is caused by the user already being logged in; but as soon as I logout then the redirect breaks when I attempt to login....

Thanks in advance! :)

When a single Spotipy object is used in multiple threads talking to the same endpoint, depending on timing, connection pool closed errors can occur. This happens because after every request made in _internal_call "close" is called on the request connection which in turn closes the session's pool for that end point. If another thread has already come in and been given a reference to that pool then tries to use it later, it will get this pool closed exception

I am creating my Spotipy object like this, after reading this code snippet:

scc = SpotifyClientCredentials(client_id = SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID,
                                   client_secret = SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET)
sp = spotipy.Spotify(client_credentials_manager = scc)

However, after a number of queries, I obtain the following error:

 The access token expired      

I was under the impression that SpotifyClientCredentials was used to update the access token accordingly. Right now, I have my queries inside a try - except block and I refresh it manually (I basically recreate the sp object every time I get an exception). Am I using this correctly or is there any other way?

Currently, "artist_albums()" doesn't return the album's release date. The release_date can only be found when calling "album()" or "albums()".

Can we bring this "release_date" field into the artist_albums return data?

So I have been trying to find a way to remove a local file from a playlist but I can't get it to work any way. I can't really find a function which would do what I need. Both remove_tracks functions require one or another type of argument which has to have track URI. But at least by looking at the Web API on Spotify page it says that it can only be done by using snapshot-id and position (https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/local-files-spotify-playlists/),

'It is not currently possible to add local files to playlists using the Web API, but they can be reordered or removed. The latter should be done by specifying the index and snapshot_id, and NOT the URI of the track.'

So can such functionality be implemented in a new release?

In [11]: sp.search('track:Unbelievers+artist:Vampire Weekend', type='track', limit=1)
Out[11]:
{u'tracks': {u'href': u'https://api.spotify.com/v1/search?query=track%3AUnbelievers%2Bartist%3AVampire+Weekend&offset=0&limit=1&type=track',
  u'items': [],
  u'limit': 1,
  u'next': None,
  u'offset': 0,
  u'previous': None,
  u'total': 0}}

Pointing a browser to the above link in the 'href' field and replacing the %2B with a + returns a populated track object, so I don't think the conversion from + to %2B that's happening somewhere along the Spotipy.search call stack should be happening...can it be avoided?

I also noticed there were no search calls in the examples that specified > 1 field.

I've installed spotipy using pip, no errors.
When I run python 3 and do import spotipy here's what I get:

File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/spotipy/__init__.py", line 2, in <module> from client import Spotify, SpotifyException ImportError: No module named 'client'

OS: Ubuntu 14.04,
Python: 3.4.0

https://github.com/drsm79/spotipy/blob/master/spotipy/__init__.py#L110 means that a 201 (Created) fails. That seems to break creating playlists, at least. The check should be for >=400.

Hi

Thank you for Spotipy! It's awesome. One quick question:

Is it possible to get the number of subscribers to a playlist using Spotipy?ck

I tried asking this on stackoverflow using the Spotipy tag which doesn't seem to exist

Thank you

Tom

Hello Spotipy's people i have an question, i can play music from a python app using your libraries?

What's the best way to prompt the user to authorize the app and get the user token if the user's preferred method of authorization is Facebook Login.

I went over the examples and only saw references explaining this for simple, old fashion login but nothing with Facebook login.

Best,

Juan

It seems there's no way to remove a track from a playlist (https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/remove-tracks-playlist/) which is unfortunate, though maybe I missed a call. Will try to implement this weekend...

Hello,

I wanted to write a new release notification script and therefor I need to access the "album object (full)" (https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/object-model/#album-object-full) of an artist.

When I load a artists albums via

albumResult = spotify.artist_albums(artistId, album_type="album", country=spotifyMarket, offset=offset)
albums = albumResult["items"]

I only have access to the simplified data. Not the release date of an album. Can somebody help me?

@plamere spotipy is class! Very helpful. Thank you big time.

I tried StackOverflow first, as I thought this was more something I was doing wrong and less a problem with the code itself, but I was redirected here. Anyways, here's what I wrote at Stack Overflow:

I cloned and installed Paul Lamere's Python wrapper for the Spotify Web API via python setup.py install but I can't seem to run some of the examples correctly.

Specifically, when I try to run user_playlists_contents.py or user_starred_playlist.py, a browser is launched and I'm directed to the Spotify login page. After logging in, I get a Spotify error within the browser that only says: "Oops! Something went wrong." The script asks for the URL I was redirected to, but entering in both the URL of the login page and the URL of the error page (obviously) trigger an error within the Terminal: spotipy.oauth2.SpotifyOauthError: Bad Request

At first I was using a Facebook-connected Spotify account and logging in to Spotify through Facebook when prompted, so I thought that might be an issue. However even after creating a new email-only Spotify account and running the scripts on this new email-only username I got the same results.

I also tried registering a new App in my Spotify developer account and using its CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, and REDIRECT_URI in the examples/util.py but this didn't seem to do anything. It seems unlikely anyways that modifying examples/util.py is necessary.

Thinking this might be a browser issue I also reset my browser (Chrome) and after that didn't work I tried switching Safari to the default browser but that also did nothing.

Both these scripts depend on prompt_for_user_token() which is defined in examples/util.py, and seems to be where things are going wrong.

What am I doing wrong? Have I missed something painfully obvious? Thanks in advance.

Started playing with this library to learn Python, and I kept getting an "insufficient scope" error from Spotify.

It turns out that if your application gets issued a token, and the application's required scope changes to need more permissions before that token expires, get_cached_token() in oauth2.py will still give that token back even though Spotify will reject it. When tokens are cached, information about what scopes are associated with that token needs to be recorded too.

Traceback (most recent call last):

UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character u'\u2013' in position
11: character maps to

so u'\u2013' is a dash "-"

The playlist-related examples attempt to import a util module. For example, line 10 of user_playlists.py reads:

import util

It is unclear where this module comes from. It is unavailable on my system (Python 2.7.3), and Google is of no help.
