A light weight Python library for the Spotify Web API

Documentation

Spotipy's full documentation is online at Spotipy Documentation.

Installation

pip install spotipy

Quick Start

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

To get started, install spotipy and create an app on https://developers.spotify.com/. Add your new ID and SECRET to your environment:

export SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID=client_id_here
export SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET=client_secret_here

// on Windows, use `SET` instead of `export`

Then, create a Spotify object and call methods:

import spotipy
from spotipy.oauth2 import SpotifyClientCredentials

sp = spotipy.Spotify(client_credentials_manager=SpotifyClientCredentials())

results = sp.search(q='weezer', limit=20)
for idx, track in enumerate(results['tracks']['items']):
    print(idx, track['name'])
