Bases: object

Spotify Web API client.

The Spotify Web API enables the creation of applications that can interact with Spotify’s streaming service, such as retrieving content metadata, getting recommendations, creating and managing playlists, or controlling playback.

Important

  • Spotify content may not be downloaded.

  • Keep visual content in its original form.

  • Ensure content attribution.

See also

For more information, see the Spotify Web API Reference.

Requests to the Spotify Web API endpoints must be accompanied by a valid access token in the header. An access token can be obtained with or without user authentication. While authentication is not necessary to search for and retrieve data from public content, it is required to access personal content and control playback.

Minim can obtain client-only access tokens via the client credentials flow and user access tokens via the authorization code and authorization code with proof key for code exchange (PKCE) flows. These OAuth 2.0 authorization flows require valid client credentials (client ID and client secret) to either be provided to this class’s constructor as keyword arguments or be stored as SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID and SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET in the operating system’s environment variables.

See also

To get client credentials, see the guide on how to create a new Spotify application. To take advantage of Minim’s automatic authorization code retrieval functionality for the authorization code (with PKCE) flow, the redirect URI should be in the form http://localhost:{port}/callback, where {port} is an open port on localhost.

Alternatively, a access token can be acquired without client credentials through the Spotify Web Player, but this approach is not recommended and should only be used as a last resort since it is not officially supported and can be deprecated by Spotify at any time. The access token is client-only unless a Spotify Web Player sp_dc cookie is either provided to this class’s constructor as a keyword argument or be stored as SPOTIFY_SP_DC in the operating system’s environment variables, in which case a user access token with all authorization scopes is granted instead.

If an existing access token is available, it and its accompanying information (refresh token and expiry time) can be provided to this class’s constructor as keyword arguments to bypass the access token retrieval process. It is recommended that all other authorization-related keyword arguments be specified so that a new access token can be obtained when the existing one expires.

Tip

The authorization flow and access token can be changed or updated at any time using set_flow() and set_access_token(), respectively.

Minim also stores and manages access tokens and their properties. When any of the authorization flows above are used to acquire an access token, it is automatically saved to the Minim configuration file to be loaded on the next instantiation of this class. This behavior can be disabled if there are any security concerns, like if the computer being used is a shared device.

Parameters:
client_idstr, keyword-only, optional

Client ID. Required for the authorization code and client credentials flows. If it is not stored as SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID in the operating system’s environment variables or found in the Minim configuration file, it must be provided here.

client_secretstr, keyword-only, optional

Client secret. Required for the authorization code and client credentials flows. If it is not stored as SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET in the operating system’s environment variables or found in the Minim configuration file, it must be provided here.

flowstr, keyword-only, default: "web_player"

Authorization flow.

Valid values:

  • "authorization_code" for the authorization code flow.

  • "pkce" for the authorization code with proof key for code exchange (PKCE) flow.

  • "client_credentials" for the client credentials flow.

  • "web_player" for a Spotify Web Player access token.

browserbool, keyword-only, default: False

Determines whether a web browser is automatically opened for the authorization code (with PKCE) flow. If False, users will have to manually open the authorization URL. Not applicable when web_framework=”playwright”.

web_frameworkstr, keyword-only, optional

Determines which web framework to use for the authorization code (with PKCE) flow.

Valid values:

  • "http.server" for the built-in implementation of HTTP servers.

  • "flask" for the Flask framework.

  • "playwright" for the Playwright framework by Microsoft.

portint or str, keyword-only, default: 8888

Port on localhost to use for the authorization code flow with the http.server and Flask frameworks. Only used if redirect_uri is not specified.

redirect_uristr, keyword-only, optional

Redirect URI for the authorization code flow. If not on localhost, the automatic authorization code retrieval functionality is not available.

scopesstr or list, keyword-only, optional

Authorization scopes to request user access for in the authorization code flow.

See also

See get_scopes() for the complete list of scopes.

sp_dcstr, keyword-only, optional

Spotify Web Player sp_dc cookie to send with the access token request. If provided here, stored as SPOTIFY_SP_DC in the operating system’s environment variables, or found in the Minim configuration file, a user access token with all authorization scopes is obtained instead of a client-only access token.

access_tokenstr, keyword-only, optional

Access token. If provided here or found in the Minim configuration file, the authorization process is bypassed. In the former case, all other relevant keyword arguments should be specified to automatically refresh the access token when it expires.

refresh_tokenstr, keyword-only, optional

Refresh token accompanying access_token. If not provided, the user will be reauthenticated using the specified authorization flow when access_token expires.

expirydatetime.datetime or str, keyword-only, optional

Expiry time of access_token in the ISO 8601 format %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ. If provided, the user will be reauthenticated using refresh_token (if available) or the specified authorization flow (if possible) when access_token expires.

overwritebool, keyword-only, default: False

Determines whether to overwrite an existing access token in the Minim configuration file.

savebool, keyword-only, default: True

Determines whether newly obtained access tokens and their associated properties are stored to the Minim configuration file.

update_playlist_items(playlist_id: str, *, uris: str | list[str] = None, range_start: int = None, insert_before: int = None, range_length: int = 1, snapshot_id: str = None) str[source]#

Playlists > Update Playlist Items: Either reorder or replace items in a playlist depending on the request’s parameters.

To reorder items, include range_start, insert_before, range_length, and snapshot_id as keyword arguments. To replace items, include uris as a keyword argument. Replacing items in a playlist will overwrite its existing items. This operation can be used for replacing or clearing items in a playlist.

Note

Replace and reorder are mutually exclusive operations which share the same endpoint, but have different parameters. These operations can’t be applied together in a single request.

Authorization scope

Requires the playlist-modify-public or the playlist-modify-private scope.

Parameters:
playlist_idstr

The Spotify ID of the playlist.

Example: "3cEYpjA9oz9GiPac4AsH4n".

urisstr or list, keyword-only, optional

A (comma-separated) list of Spotify URIs to add; can be track or episode URIs. A maximum of 100 items can be added in one request.

Note

It is likely that passing a large number of item URIs as a query parameter will exceed the maximum length of the request URI. When adding a large number of items, it is recommended to pass them in the request body (as a list).

Example: "spotify:track:4iV5W9uYEdYUVa79Axb7Rh, spotify:track:1301WleyT98MSxVHPZCA6M, spotify:episode:512ojhOuo1ktJprKbVcKyQ".

range_startint, keyword-only, optional

The position of the first item to be reordered.

insert_beforeint, keyword-only, optional

The position where the items should be inserted. To reorder the items to the end of the playlist, simply set insert_before to the position after the last item.

Examples:

  • range_start=0, insert_before=10 to reorder the first item to the last position in a playlist with 10 items, and

  • range_start=9, insert_before=0 to reorder the last item in a playlist with 10 items to the start of the playlist.

range_lengthint, keyword-only, default: 1

The amount of items to be reordered. The range of items to be reordered begins from the range_start position, and includes the range_length subsequent items.

Example: range_start=9, range_length=2 to move the items at indices 9–10 to the start of the playlist.

snapshot_idstr, keyword-only, optional

The playlist’s snapshot ID against which you want to make the changes.

Returns:
snapshot_idstr

The updated playlist’s snapshot ID.
