SpotifyImport

Hi and Welcome to SpotifyImport,

This script allows you to import playlists from Json files to Spotify. It uses thefuzz library to match songs based on Levenshtein distance.

How to use it

First you need to install dependencies with Pipenv

pipenv install

Then activate the virtual environment

 pipenv shell 

You will need to define environment variables that contain your Spotify API credentials

export SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID='your-spotify-client-id'
export SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET='your-spotify-client-secret'
export SPOTIPY_REDIRECT_URI='http://localhost/callback'

Have a look on https://developer.spotify.com/ on how to generate your own API keys

You will also need to define a callback_uri, i.e: http://localhost/callback

Run the script!

python main.py --input kit_sebastian_playlist.json
python main.py --input kit_sebastian_playlist.json --name "Kit Sebastian Playlist (Pandora)"
python main.py --input kit_sebastian_playlist.json --name "Kit Sebastian Playlist (Pandora)" --private

Ok cool, but how to generate a Json file?

PandoraExport can generate playlist files in Json.

Other tools like PandoraExport are in preparation, stay tuned!

If you want to create your own playlist Json files, you need to follow the following schema:

{  
  "Artist1": [  
    "Song1"  
  ],  
  "Artist2": [  
    "Song1"  
  ],  
  "Artist3": [  
    "Song1",
    "Song2",
    "Song3"  
  ]
}
