spotify_images

spotify_images provides a simple method of retrieving all unique album art from either a Spotify playlist and creating a collage from the query.

This fork will allow you to grab all images from a playlist, regardless of size, along with neater file names!

The original script would stop short once it hit the 100th track in a playlist. This is no longer the case - large playlists will have their single/album arts downloaded in their entirety.

I've added some comments where I feel an explanation would help readability, and complied with flake8 guidelines.

Installation:

If you're on windows, I'd recommend setting up a virtual environment first:

python3 -m venv /path/to/new/virtual/environment

Entering your venv depends on how you are accessing the terminal, in Powershell, simply type:

/path/to/new/virtual/environment/Scripts/Activate

Then, or if you skipped the venv process entirely, you can clone the github:

git clone https://github.com/Madbrad200/spotify_images-improved-

Done!

Setup:

Before using this program, you'll need to get credentials from Spotify's API. An account on Spotify will provide two credentials: 'client id' and 'client secret.'

Modify the config.py file's two fields:

client_id = 'your_client_id'
client_secret = 'your_client_secret'

Never publish your ID publicly

Two prerequisites you'll need installed on your machine are pillow and spotipy. You can easily get both of these from the pip repository. If you aren't yet aware of the beauty of pip, go check out it's website. You're welcome.

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Or install manually:

python3 -m pip install pillow
python3 -m pip install spotipy

Usage:

Download album art from an artist or playlist:

By default spotify_images fetches all unique art of any Spotify arist or playlist link given as an argument

python3 main.py https://open.spotify.com/playlist/13OSe3KLY2qnUrdP2Sv6j7

Verbose

Create a collage

Use the -c or --collage collage flag to create a collage of the artwork downloaded.
