sharp-darwin 1.3.7

Spotify Playlist Manager

Sharp-Darwin

Python CLI Spotify utility.

Why?

Why "sharp-darwin"? Why not? I have huge creativity when naming things, so I picked two incredible words to pair for your enjoyment.

Purpose

This project started with a need to consolidate my Spotify playlists. I keep monthly playlists of the things I like. After three years of Spotify monthly playlist making... I have a lot of playlists. My goal was to consolidate the lists into quarterly (most recent lists), half year, and year playlists (oldest lists).

Getting Started

1. Install sharp-darwin from PyPi: https://pypi.org/project/sharp-darwin/ pip install sharp-darwin
2. Next, you'll need to set up your own Spotify app: https://developer.spotify.com/my-applications
3. Create a new app, or reuse an existing. If creating a new app, provide at least the required fields.. whatever you want. After creation, click Edit Settings. In the Redirect URIs field, simply enter https://localhost.
4. On the main app page, you'll need to fetch the Client ID and Client Secret.
5. Set up envionmental vars as indicated in the below section.
6. Run the app! sharp-darwin --help.

Environmental Variables

Sharp-Darwin can import configuration from envionmental variables or from a .env file. If you choose to use a .env file, you can specifiy the location of the file on the command line sharp-darwin --env /path/to/my/dot/env.

Variables

Most items should be self-explanatory. Here's a few which are not:

• SPOTIPY_REDIRECT_URI: set this to https://localhost to locallly fetch an OAuth token. If you know what you're doing, you know how to set this. Otherwise.. stick to the suggested.
• SHARP_DARWIN_CRED_CACHE: this is the location of the Spotipy OAuth credential cache. It will default to the current working directoy if not set.

Example .env file:

SPOTIPY_USERNAME=you_spotify_username
SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID=your_spotify_client_id
SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET=your_spotify_client_secret
SPOTIPY_REDIRECT_URI=https://localhost
SHARP_DARWIN_CRED_CACHE=/path/to/cred/cache
