Create Spotify Playlists Using Python
ฝัง

- In this video, I show a simple Python application that leverages the Spotify Web API to generate Spotify playlists 🎧 🎧 using reference tracks from a user’s listening history.
By watching the video you can get a feeling of the Spotify Web API, learn about content-based recommendation, and get an idea of how the Spotify’s recommendation algorithm (probably!) works.

Extremely helpful, Valerio! Thank you! I've been working on a Playlist Project for the past month, and been stuck. This was very comprehensive and practical.
Glad I could help Melissa!
@@ValerioVelardoTheSoundofAI Thanks for your response! Question: What approach would you use to add UI to this Valerio? I just spent three hours attempting to do so, and so far I’ve added a Spotify authorization page. But I’m not having much luck after that. Any suggestions?
@@Melpat91 I would suggest looking into Kivy, a cross-platform UI library for Python (kivy.org/#home). It's probably the most intuitive UI library out there ;)
@@ValerioVelardoTheSoundofAI Will do! Thanks again!
Thank you very much! I'm brazillian and looking forward to making a wpp text become a spotify playlist so that is simpler to choose the best ones to play in my celebration of marriage!! :) let's build it up
THANK YOU SO MUCH, I've been trying to make a program that would give me recommended songs that I liked from spotify's Discover Weekly and it worked perfectly!!
hey can i ask u some questions?
are u using window system?
Thanks Valerio, this helped me understand the API call. I've been trying so many ways.
You explain concepts very well, keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!! I was working on a similar application but kept running into authorization issues. Turns out I was using the wrong flow. I had almost gave up on it for a couple of days... thanks to you I can now get back on track!
Glad I could help!
Brilliant video thank you! This is awesome, learning Python combined with one of my most use apps!
Thank you so much for this video!! It is exactly what I needed for a spotify script I'm trying to implement!!
How do you get the users token in the new Spotify for developers i cant find it
This is great and a huge help. I am trying to make playlist based on genre so that I can more easily share my music.
Glad you like it!
You are great man 👏🏻
Fantastic Video. Thank you so much!
Hi super great video just wondering how to access the endpoint to get my user id?
Thank you so much for this!
Nice video! Thanks for all the explanation!
One question: Do you think is it possible to create a playlist generator using a nocode plataform like Bubble?
Thanks!
how do u get the users token in the new spotify for developers web
I have mp3's local to my hard drive. Is there a way to create a playlist from that?
i have a question. Someone keeps false reporting my playlist that has a pretty good following on it... everytime they report spotify just takes my playlist name, photo and description off. Ive tried contacting them but they never reply the reports keep happening and there is nothing wrong with my playlist. me and some other curators are having the same problem and spotify ignores us... Do you think you could help me? I dont know what to do anymore I'm so stressed and upset..
Hey, awesome video, and I really like the way this program works. I am a new dev and I am trying to get this to work on my machine but I am having difficulties. I activate the virtual environment, set the spotify auth token and userID, but when I run the createplaylist module, after I pass in the value for how many songs I'd like for it to visualize, I receive a keyError for 'items'. I sent you a request to connect on LinkedIn, but I'd like to talk to you more about this program!
hi, can you fix the problem?
@@ezgikaradag4124 I don't know what exactly is wrong, but it has to do with the environment variables: If you include a "print(response.json)" in the "last played tracks" function, it will give you error 401: invalid access token.
I hard coded the credentials, it works fine. You have to edit the first few lines of the main function in the createplaylist.py:
authorization_token = 'your_authorization_token'
user_id = 'your_user_id'
spotify_client = SpotifyClient(authorization_token, user_id)
amazing, thank you!
Awesome video.
Thanks!
Hi Valerio, I want to ask you a question:
I am trying to make a Spotify API that gives me a list of Disco / Funk songs that also tells me the BPM and its key from 1975 to 1989.
I know there are sites that do this, but I cannot select the period that interests me.
Is it a feasible request?
Nice video, thank you! Are these audio features from spotify calculated with any type of encoder? I search a little bit how they calcule "danceability" and "energy" but do not find anything.
My guess is that they use a mix of Deep Learning (mainly CNN architectures) and traditional audio DSP for features like "tempo" and "key". But I may be wrong ;)
@@ValerioVelardoTheSoundofAI Thank you!
brother i have a list of urls of spotify tracks , can i use it to create a playlist
Hey, do you know if the code is still functional?
I am getting the following error:
line 30, in get_last_played_tracks
track in response_json["items"]]
KeyError: 'items'
I'm not too sure how to solve but I'm sure it's a pretty simple fix.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Same error, did You fix it?
same here... I think this key error thing is not fixable...
I solved the problem. problem is the spotify token, it's valid for just 1 hour. just get a new token after an hour, then do exports from terminal / cmd again. it will work probably.
@@leyviya i try it but it seem does not work with a new valid token. Any help please?
for those who wanna get the job done just clone the author 's git and it works fine
Amazing video and content ;) Your Python classes should definitely have object as their superclass, though (even though actually in Python 3 all classes are new style classes and I should just grow up with the times) lol =)
Thank you! In Python 3, as you mentioned, classes aren't required to inherit from "object".
Nice video! Can you make video about audio denoising by tensorflow?
That's in my backlog. Stay tuned!
Trying to give this a go but hit a roadblock, if someone can please help? I have the new playlist generating through the web api with up to 50 tracks, however, after running from cli with the updated auth token (recently played tracks from spotify) and user ID, it's only finding the same old 3 last_played_tracks, even though I input 15 tracks to visualize from and have since updated the listener history with 20+ new tracks. Suggestions on how to fix so the user can choose from a longer list than 3?
I tried running it and it keeps happening this error, could someone help me out?
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'spotipyclient'
@Valerio Velardo - The Sound of AI
did you ever figure it out?
My question is if spotify is so smart why can't they make a setting to "sort by tempo" in playlists.
I think that has to do with UX/UI decisions not with technology.
Hi bro can you please make video on any kaggle audio project?
Do you have a particular Kaggle project in mind?

@@ShortVine thank you for sharing these.
is python the greatest thing ever created ? it sure feels like it...
Not sure if it's the best, but definitely a great tool in computer science!
@@ValerioVelardoTheSoundofAI is there anything it cant do? I recently started learning python and am always surprised to see the things it can do.
