Description :
You can move your playlist from an old Spotify account to a new one using this tool.
This project uses Spotify Web API to acquire the selected playlists from the old or any account and move them to the new or any other account by creating the new playlists in the new account with the same names and same tracks for each playlist.
Usage :
- First create an app in developer.spotify.com and get client ID and client secret and place them in the code in place of variables with the same names.
- In the app you created at developer.spotify.com you should copy and paste the redirect URI from the code which is http://localhost:3000/callback ; but you can change the port which is 3000 to any other random number other than the commons like 443(https port) but note that you should change the port in any part of the code that it’s mentioned.
- Add the emails of the accounts you want to move from or move to in the settings of the app you just created at the spotify developer website; You can add up to 25 accounts and this limit is because of the app you created is not in extended quota mode(search for it in the context of Spotify API).
- Download the files from the repository and place them in a directory(folder) and then install the modules used in the code(mentioned below) using npm(make sure to have Node.js and it’s package manager npm installed already) and the terminal in the directory.
- Use
node app.js
command in the directory to run the program.- Follow the instructions in the running program :)
Modules Used :
- readline
- express
- querystring
- request
BE AWARE :
- This app is designed to get maximum number of 50(which is the limit for get playlist request using the Spotify web API) playlists and if you have more than that, 50 of them at the top of the list will be shown.
- Status code for each request in the project is shown on the terminal but you can make it not to show status codes by commenting the
console.log()
part that is printing the status codes in thegetRequest
andpostRequest
functions. but if you wanna keep them to make sure the program is working fine just note that everything is working fine if the GET status codes are all 200 and the POST status codes are all 201.- If your country is banning Spotify or some how Spotify is not accessible for you, make sure to use a proper VPN for working with the program.
- For the record the code starts from main function if you wanna study it.
