# Spotipy
##### A light weight Python library for the Spotify Web API
![Tests](https://github.com/plamere/spotipy/workflows/Tests/badge.svg?branch=master) [![Documentation Status](https://readthedocs.org/projects/spotipy/badge/?version=latest)](https://spotipy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/?badge=latest)
## Documentation
Spotipy's full documentation is online at [Spotipy Documentation](http://spotipy.readthedocs.org/).
## Installation
```bash
pip install spotipy
```
## Quick Start
A full set of examples can be found in the [online documentation](http://spotipy.readthedocs.org/) and in the [Spotipy examples directory](https://github.com/plamere/spotipy/tree/master/examples).
To get started, install spotipy and create an app on https://developers.spotify.com/.
Add your new ID and SECRET to your environment:
```bash
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:
```python
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'])
```
