YouTube2Spotify

A server that allows clients to translate private/public YouTube playlists into Spotify equivalents.

Before You Do Anything

Add a file client_info.json into the root directory of this project:

{
	"spotify": {
		"client_id": [Your Spotify app client id],
		"client_secret": [Your Spotify app client secret]
	},
	"youtube": {
		"client_id": [Your YouTube app client id],
		"client_secret": [Your YouTube app client secret]
	}
}

which will be used by the server to make calls to YouTube and Spotify APIs.

How to Use

Before you start, make sure you have

1. Created an application on both Spotify and Google,
2. Acquired client ids and secrets for your application,
3. Enabled access to the YouTube Data API.

To start:

1. Start up the server on localhost:5000 by doing:

    python server.py
   

2. Open up localhost:5000 on your favorite browser.

3. Create a session.

4. Authenticate with the two services.

5. Enter the YouTube playlist id in the homepage and click "Submit".

6. The server will now translate all the videos into equivalent Spotify names.

7. Review and click next.

8. Select the target Spotify playlist that you want to add them into (click "Select").

9. ???

10. Profit! (If everything goes well, the tracks should be added to your selected playlist.)
