Unreleased

Added

• Enabled using both short and long IDs for playlist_change_details
• Added a cache handler to SpotifyClientCredentials

Changed

• Add support for a list of scopes rather than just a comma separated string of scopes

Fixed

• Fixed the bugs in SpotifyOAuth.refresh_access_token and SpotifyPKCE.refresh_access_token which raised the incorrect exception upon receiving an error response from the server. This addresses #645.

• Fixed a bug in RequestHandler.do_GET in which the non-existent state attribute of SpotifyOauthError is accessed. This bug occurs when the user clicks "cancel" in the permissions dialog that opens in the browser.

• Cleaned up the documentation for SpotifyClientCredentials.__init__, SpotifyOAuth.__init__, and SpotifyPKCE.__init__.

[2.17.1] - 2021-02-28

Fixed

• allowed_methods requires urllib3>=1.26.0

[2.17.0] - 2021-02-28

Changed

• moved os.remove(session_cache_path()) inside try block to avoid TypeError on app.py example file
• A warning will no longer be emitted when the cache file does not exist at the specified path
• The docs for the auth parameter of Spotify.init use the term "access token" instead of "authorization token"
• Changed docs for search to mention that you can provide multiple types to search for
• The query parameters of requests are now logged
• Deprecate specifing cache_path or username directly to SpotifyOAuth, SpotifyPKCE, and SpotifyImplicitGrant constructors, instead directing users to use the CacheFileHandler cache handler
• Removed requirement for examples/app.py to specify port multiple times (only SPOTIPY_REDIRECT_URI needs to contain the port)

Added

• Added log messages for when the access and refresh tokens are retrieved and when they are refreshed
• Support market optional parameter in track
• Added CacheHandler abstraction to allow users to cache tokens in any way they see fit

Fixed

• Fixed Spotify.user_playlist_reorder_tracks calling Spotify.playlist_reorder_tracks with an incorrect parameter order
• Fixed deprecated Urllib3 Retry(method_whitelist=...) in favor of Retry(allowed_methods=...)

[2.16.1] - 2020-10-24

Fixed

• playlist_tracks example code no longer prints extra characters on final loop iteration
• SpotifyException now thrown when a request fails & has no response (#571, #581)
• Added scope, playlist-read-private, to examples that access user playlists using the spotipy api: current_user_playlists() (#591)
• Enable retries for POST, DELETE, PUT (#577)

Changed

• both inline and starting import lists are sorted using isort module
• changed Max Retries exception code from 599 to 429

Added

• open_browser can be passed to the constructors of SpotifyOAuth and SpotifyPKCE to make it easier to authorize in browserless environments

[2.15.0] - 2020-09-08

Added

• SpotifyPKCE.parse_auth_response_url, mirroring that method in SpotifyOAuth

Changed

• Specifying a cache_path or username is now optional

Fixed

• Using SpotifyPKCE.get_authorization_url will now generate a code challenge if needed

[2.14.0] - 2020-08-29

Added

• (experimental) Support to search multiple/all markets at once.
• Support to test whether the current user is following certain users or artists
• Proper replacements for all deprecated playlist endpoints (See https://developer.spotify.com/community/news/2018/06/12/changes-to-playlist-uris/ and below)

Fixed

[2.13.0] - 2020-06-25

Added

• Added SpotifyImplicitGrant as an auth manager option. It provides user authentication without a client secret but sacrifices the ability to refresh the token without user input. (However, read the class docstring for security advisory.)
• Added built-in verification of the state query parameter
• Added two new attributes: error and error_description to SpotifyOauthError exception class to show authorization/authentication web api errors details.
• Added SpotifyStateError subclass of SpotifyOauthError

Deprecated

• Deprecated util.prompt_for_user_token in favor of spotipy.Spotify(auth_manager=SpotifyOAuth())

[2.12.0] - 2020-04-26

Added

• Added a method to update the auth token.

Fixed

• Logging regression due to the addition of logging.basicConfig() which was unneeded.

[2.11.2] - 2020-04-19

Changed

• Updated the documentation to give more details on the authorization process and reflect 2020 Spotify Application jargon and practices.

• The local webserver is only started for localhost redirect_uri which specify a port, i.e. it is started for http://localhost:8080 or http://127.0.0.1:8080, not for http://localhost.

Fixed

• Issue where using http://localhost as redirect_uri would cause the authorization process to hang.

[2.11.1] - 2020-04-11

Fixed

• Fixed miscellaneous issues with parsing of callback URL

[2.11.0] - 2020-04-11

Added

• Support for shows/podcasts and episodes

Changed

• Client retry logic has changed as it now uses urllib3's Retry in conjunction with requests Session
• The session is customizable as it allows for:
  • status_forcelist
  • retries
  • status_retries
  • backoff_factor
• Spin up a local webserver to auto-fill authentication URL
• Use session in SpotifyAuthBase
• Logging used instead of print statements

Fixed

• Close session when Spotipy object is unloaded
• Propagate refresh token error

[2.10.0] - 2020-03-18

Added

• Support for add_to_queue

• auth_manager and oauth_manager optional parameters added to Spotify's init.
• Optional username parameter to be passed to SpotifyOAuth, to infer a cache_path automatically
• Optional as_dict parameter to control SpotifyOAuth's get_access_token output type. However, this is going to be deprecated in the future, and the method will always return a token string
• Optional show_dialog parameter to be passed to SpotifyOAuth

Changed

• Both SpotifyClientCredentials and SpotifyOAuth inherit from a common SpotifyAuthBase which handles common parameters and logics.

[2.7.1] - 2020-01-20
