Spotipy's full documentation is online at Spotipy Documentation.
pip install spotipy
A full set of examples can be found in the online documentation and in the Spotipy examples directory.
To get started, install spotipy and create an app on https://developers.spotify.com/. Add your new ID and SECRET to your environment:
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 idx, track in enumerate(results['tracks']['items']):
print(idx, track['name'])
