export SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID='your-spotify-client-id' export SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET='your-spotify-client-secret'
Then, create a Spotify object and call methods:
import spotipy
from spotipy.oauth2 import SpotifyClientCredentials
sp = spotipy.Spotify(client_credentials_manager=SpotifyClientCredentials())
results = sp.search(q='weezer', limit=20)
for i, t in enumerate(results['tracks']['items']):
print(' ', i, t['name'])If you have suggestions, bugs or other issues specific to this library, file them here. Or just send me a pull request.
