soundvia 1.0.1

Python client for the soundvia.eu API

soundvia

Python client for the soundvia.eu API v1

Installation

pip install soundvia

git clone https://github.com/soundviadigital/soundvia-python
cd soundvia-python
pip install .

Usage

Get a token from your app page on soundvia.eu/developer, then pass it to the client.

from soundvia import SoundviaClient

client = SoundviaClient("YOUR_APP_TOKEN")

Status — check your app info and current rate limit config:

status = client.status()
print(status.app.name)
print(status.app.verification_status)  # "pending" or "verified"
print(status.app.limits.requests_per_minute)

Search — searches across tracks, releases, artists, and playlists at once:

results = client.search("lofi beats")
for track in results.tracks:
    print(track["title"])

Tracks:

page = client.list_tracks(q="chill", limit=10)
for track in page.tracks:
    print(track.title, track.duration)

track = client.get_track("TRACK_ID")
print(track.stream_url)

Releases:

page = client.list_releases(q="ep", limit=5)
release = client.get_release("RELEASE_ID")
print(release.release_type)  # "album", "ep", "single"

Artists:

profile = client.get_artist("rebzyyx")
print(profile.artist.display_name)
for track in profile.tracks:
    print(track.title)

Playlists:

page = client.list_playlists(q="woah")
playlist = client.get_playlist("PLAYLIST_ID")

Pagination — all list_* methods take limit (default 20) and offset:

page1 = client.list_tracks(q="jazz", limit=20, offset=0)
page2 = client.list_tracks(q="jazz", limit=20, offset=20)

Context manager:

with SoundviaClient("YOUR_APP_TOKEN") as client:
    print(client.status().app.name)

Client options

SoundviaClient(
    token,
    base_url="https://soundvia.eu/api/v1",
    timeout=15,       # seconds
    max_retries=3,    # retries on 429 and 5xx
)

On a 429, the client reads the Retry-After header and sleeps before retrying. On 5xx errors it backs off exponentially. Both give up after max_retries attempts.

Errors

from soundvia import AuthenticationError, NotFoundError, RateLimitError, APIError

try:
    track = client.get_track("bad-id")
except NotFoundError:
    print("track doesn't exist")
except RateLimitError as e:
    print(f"retry after {e.retry_after}s")
except AuthenticationError:
    print("check your token")
except APIError as e:
    print(e.status_code)

All exceptions inherit from SoundviaError.

Exception	Trigger
AuthenticationError	401
NotFoundError	404
RateLimitError	429 (after retries exhausted)
APIError	5xx or network failure

Every response has a .raw field

If a field isn't modelled yet, the original response dict is always there:

track = client.get_track("TRACK_ID")
print(track.raw)
