access to all of the music data provided by the Spotify platform. Here’s another example showing how to get 30 second samples and cover art for the top 10 tracks for Led Zeppelin: Finally, here’s an example that will get the URL for an artist image given the artist’s name: For methods that do not require authorization, simply create a Spotify object and start making method calls like so: spotify = spotipy.Spotify() results = spotify.search(q=artist: + name, type=artist) Many methods require user authentication. For these requests you will need to generate an authorization token that indicates that the user has granted permission for your application to perform the given task. You will need to register your app to get the credentials necessary to Even if your script does not have an accessible URL you need to specify one when registering your application where the spotify authentication API will redirect to after successful login. The URL doesn’t need to work or be accessible, you can specify > authenticate your requests to the Spotify Web API and to obtain a > higher rate limit than you would user. You can pas* your app credentials directly into the method as arguments: or if you are reluctant to immortalize your app credentials in your source code, you can set environment variables like so: token appended. The credentials are cached locally and are used to automatically re-authorized expired tokens. Here’s an example of getting user authorization to read a user’s saved tracks: Client credentials flow is appropriate for requests that do not require access to a user’s private data. Even if you are only making calls that do not require authorization, using this flow yields the benefit of a higher rate limit > artist, album, or track. Example: > spotify:track:6rqhFgbbKwnb9MLmUQDhG6 > the Spotify URI (see above) for an artist, track, album, etc. > Example: 6rqhFgbbKwnb9MLmUQDhG6     sp = spotipy.Spotify(auth=token)     sp.trace = False
