results = sp.search(q='weezer', limit=20)
for idx, track in enumerate(results['tracks']['items']):
print(idx, track['name'])
With user authentication
import spotipy
from spotipy.oauth2 import SpotifyOAuth
sp = spotipy.Spotify(auth_manager=SpotifyOAuth(client_id="YOUR_APP_CLIENT_ID",
client_secret="YOUR_APP_CLIENT_SECRET",
redirect_uri="YOUR_APP_REDIRECT_URI",
scope="user-library-read"))
results = sp.current_user_saved_tracks()
for idx, item in enumerate(results['items']):
track = item['track']
print(idx, track['artists'][0]['name'], " – ", track['name'])
