YouTube-To-Spotify Playlist Transfer

Information

The program will take a YouTube playlist and save it into a new Spotify playlist!

How to Run:

• Set up pipenv: pipenv install.
• Run the main method: pipenv run python3 main.py.

Note

• Keep in mind that the music playlist from YouTube needs to be public or unlisted.

• The program takes in songs (from YouTube) that are in two different formats:

  • Video Title: "Treasure", Channel: "Bruno Mars" or
  • Video Title: "Treasure", Channel: "Bruno Mars - Topic"
    • (It can take music videos or lyric videos but the program is less likely to find it on Spotify)

• This uses Spotify API and the Google OAuth Platform. Be sure to create an .env that would store the expected information that the program requires. Here is an example of what the .env should look like:

SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID="SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID"
SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET="SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET"
SPOTIFY_REDIRECT_URI="SPOTIFY_REDIRECT_URI"
CLIENT_SECRETS_FILE="CLIENT_SECRETS_FILE"

Inspiration

When transferring playlists from one music platform to another platform, I found it difficult and extremely time-consuming to copy a playlist from one platform. Since it took a long time and it takes the same number of steps for each song, it was best to try to automate the process.
