Usage

Authentication

This library uses OAuth 2 for authentication. You will need a client_id from iBroadcast (see Creating an App).

Device Code Flow (recommended for CLI apps)

>>> import ibroadcast
>>> ib = ibroadcast.from_device_code(
...     client_id='your_client_id',
...     scopes=['user.library:read', 'user.library:write', 'user.upload'],
... )
To authorize, visit: https://oauth.ibroadcast.com/device
And enter code: ABCD-1234

Waiting for authorization...

Authorization Code Flow (for apps with a browser redirect)

>>> import ibroadcast
>>> # Step 1: Generate PKCE verifier and challenge
>>> verifier = ibroadcast.generate_code_verifier()
>>> challenge = ibroadcast.generate_code_challenge(verifier)
>>> # Step 2: Build the authorization URL and direct the user to it
>>> url = ibroadcast.build_authorize_url(
...     client_id='your_client_id',
...     state='random_state_string',
...     code_challenge=challenge,
...     scopes=['user.library:read', 'user.library:write'],
...     redirect_uri='https://your-app.com/callback',
... )
>>> # Step 3: After user authorizes, exchange the code
>>> ib = ibroadcast.from_auth_code(
...     client_id='your_client_id',
...     code='authorization_code_from_redirect',
...     redirect_uri='https://your-app.com/callback',
...     code_verifier=verifier,
... )

Using existing tokens

>>> import ibroadcast
>>> ib = ibroadcast.iBroadcast(
...     access_token='your_access_token',
...     refresh_token='your_refresh_token',
...     client_id='your_client_id',
... )

Saving and restoring tokens

>>> # Save tokens for later use
>>> token_dict = ib.token_set.to_dict()
>>> # ... persist token_dict to file ...
>>> # Restore from saved tokens
>>> ib = ibroadcast.from_token_set(token_dict, client_id='your_client_id')

Download library data

After authenticating, download your library data:

>>> ib.refresh()

Query tracks

Track data can be found in ib.tracks.

Here is an example that lists tracks from the year 1984:

>>> from pprint import pprint
>>> tracks_from_1984 = [track for (trackid, track) in ib.tracks.items() if track['year'] == 1984]
>>> pprint(tracks_from_1984)

Query albums

Album data can be found in ib.albums.

Here is an example that lists albums from the year 1984:

>>> albums_from_1984 = [album for (albumid, album) in ib.albums.items() if album['year'] == 1984]
>>> pprint(albums_from_1984)
[{'artist_id': 17407663,

  'rating': 0,
  'tracks': [189815191],
  'trashed': False,
  'year': 1984}]

Query artists

Artist data can be found in ib.artists.

Here is an example that lists artists with more than 170 tracks:

>>> [artist['name'] for artist in ib.artists.values() if len(artist['tracks']) >= 170]
['Scooter', 'Megadeth', 'Bad Religion', 'Metallica', 'Green Day']

Query playlists

Playlist data can be found in ib.playlists.

Here is an example that lists the names of all playlists:

>>> [playlist['name'] for playlist in ib.playlists.values()]
['Jonathan Hall', 'Army of Hardcore', 'Most Recent Uploads', 'Recently Played', 'Stand Up', 'Roads Untraveled', 'The Storm', 'Thumbs Up']

Here's an example that lists the track names of a particular playlist:

>>> def track2string(ib, track):
...   title = track['title']
...   artistid = track['artist_id']
...   artist = ib.artist(artistid)
...   return f"{artist['name']} - {title}"
...
>>> thumbsup = next(pl for pl in ib.playlists.values() if pl['name'] == 'Thumbs Up')
>>> for trackid in thumbsup['tracks']:
...   track = ib.track(trackid)
...   print(track2string(ib, track))

Query tags

Tag data can be found in ib.tags.

Here is an example that lists all tracks tagged "favorites" from 2010 or later:

>>> favorite_trackids = next(tag['tracks'] for tag in ib.tags.values() if tag['name'] == 'favorites')
>>> for trackid in favorite_trackids:
...   track = ib.track(trackid)
...   year = track['year']
...   if year < 2010: continue
...   print(f"[{year}] {track2string(ib, track)}")
