To get started, install spotifynews and create an app on https://developers.spotify.com/. Add your new SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID and SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET to your environment. After script run for the first time authorize on spotify webpage by logging and allowing scope playlist-modify-public.

News

This functionality accumulates song from source playlist in local database and based on that it is able to notice truly new tracks, because new trucks are not yet in database. If this situation occurs, it creates clone of original playlist with only new tracks.

To utilize this functionality run script once a week and enjoy new hits from your favorite playlist :coffee:

from spotifynews.update import news
todays_top_hits_id = 'spotify:playlist:37i9dQZF1DXcBWIGoYBM5M'
news(database_f="test.db", original_playlist_id=todays_top_hits_id)

Collections

from spotifynews.update import collections
todays_top_hits_id = 'spotify:playlist:37i9dQZF1DXcBWIGoYBM5M'
collections(database_f="test.db", original_playlist_id=todays_top_hits_id)
