I've been trying to create a simple tool that converts apple music playlists to Spotify playlists using web scraping and Spotipy.
I broke each part of this tool into various functions. My function to scrape the apple website and create a playlist works fine but adding the tracks doesn't. It just shows an empty playlist on my Spotify account
This is the function that is supposed to search and add the tracks.
I commented out previous search/query methods.
def get_spotify_tracks(songs, artists, sp, user_id):
'''
Step 4: Transfer fetched song data
Step 5: Search for song on Spotify
Step 6: Add the songs to the Spotify playlist
'''
list_of_tracks = []
prePlaylist = sp.user_playlists(user=user_id)
playlist = prePlaylist["items"][0]["id"]
for playlist_song, song_artist in zip(songs, artists):
track_id = sp.search(q='artist:' + song_artist + ' track:' + playlist_song, type='track')
#track_data = list(f'{playlist_song} by {song_artist}')
#result = sp.search(q=track_data, )
#query = f"https://api.spotify.com/v1/serch?query=track%3A{playlist_song}" \
# f"+artist%3A{song_artist}&type=track&offset=0&limit=5"
list_of_tracks.append(track_id["tracks"]["items"][0]["uri"])
print(list_of_tracks)
query = f"https://api.spotify.com/v1/playlists/{playlist}/tracks"
response = requests.post(
query,
data=list_of_tracks,
headers={
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Authorization": f"Bearer {token}"
}
)
return list_of_tracks
This is the complete code. Executing main() creates a playlist with the right name and description but no tracks.
