WrapperSpotify

This is light weight python wrapper for the spotify api. Ligh weight as it doesn't currently expose methods for all the endpoint functionality provided by sportify, just a few. This wrapper client uses the client credential workflow hence does not expose methods for any fuctionality that require user scope or authorization(yet).

Features

• Handles token generation for you
• Automatically refreshes tokens if they expire
• Exposes methods to allow you to query the sportify api easily

Usage

• Install with pip

pip install WrapperSpotify

search for artist

• create a dictionary with client credentials
• initialize client object
• call method with artist name

    import WrapperSpotify 
    credentials = {
        "ClientID":os.getenv("ClientID"),
        "ClientSecret":os.getenv("ClientSecret")
    }

    client = WrapperSpotify.Client(credentials)
    results = client.artist_search("artist name")
    

The artist_search method takes some optional arguments

• filter set to true by default. filters out the results returned from api inti a smaller size. providing only some info such as artist id, profile , images etch when set to false , results is not filtered and giant results from api is returned to you

results = client.artist_search("artist name", filter=False)

• limit set to 1 by default so results for only one artist is returned. You can increase range of results returned by increasing it . check spotify api docs for detailed explanation

    }

    client = WrapperSpotify.Client(credentials)
    results = client.track_search("track name")
