[](https://github.com/mental32/spotify.py/stargazers)
# spotify.py

An API library for the spotify client and the Spotify Web API written in Python.

spotify.py is 100% asyncronous meaning everything down to the HTTP library is designed to work with asyncio.<br>The library offers coverage over every endpoint in the Spotify web API.<br><br>As of v0.1.5 it is possible to use spotify.py in a syncronous manner. No await/async syntax required! To do this simply use

```py
import spotify.sync as spotify # and now no methods require the async/await syntax.
```

## Examples

Web API examples

drakes top tracks
```py
client = spotify.Client('someid', 'sometoken')

async def example():
drake = await client.get_artist('3TVXtAsR1Inumwj472S9r4')

for track in await drake.top_tracks():
print(repr(track))
```

backing up playlists
```py
import json
import time

client = spotify.Client('someid', 'sometoken')

async def backup():
user = await client.user_from_token('sometoken')
backup_data = []

for playlist in await user.get_playlists():
backup_data.append({'metadata': [playlist.name, playlist.public, playlist.collaborative, playlist.description], 'tracks': []})
for track in await playlist.get_tracks():
backup_data[-1]['tracks'].append(track.uri)

with open('spotify_playlists_%s_%s.json' % (user.id, int(time.time())), 'w') as file:
json.dump(backup_data, file)
```
