spotify-album-art 0.0.3.1

Download album artwork from Spotify

spotify_images

spotify_images provides a simple method of retrieving all unique album art from either a Spotify playlist or artist on Spotify and creating a collage from the query.

Installation:

git clone https://github.com/orioncrocker/spotify_images

Setup:

Before using this program, you'll need to get credentials from Spotify's API. An account on Spotify will provide two credentials: 'client id' and 'client secret.'

Modify the config.py file's two fields:

client_id = 'your_client_id'
client_secret = 'your_client_secret'

Two prerequisites you'll need installed on your machine are pillow and spotipy. You can easily get both of these from the pip repository. If you aren't yet aware of the beauty of pip, go check out it's website. You're welcome.

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Usage:

Download album art from an artist or playlist:

By default spotify_images fetches all unique art of any Spotify arist or playlist link given as an argument

python3 main.py https://open.spotify.com/playlist/13OSe3KLY2qnUrdP2Sv6j7

Future features:

I would love to be able to specify a width and height for the purposes of creating wallpapers. Additionally, a website that hosts this code via Flask would be ideal so that anyone could utilize this software without the hassle of installation and configuration. However if I'm going do that I may as well rewrite this program in Javascript and save myself some trouble.
