Spotify to Youtube Playlist Converter

Converts your playlist from spotify to youtube.

How does it Work?

You will need to have a valid spotify and youtube account to use this. Then, you will need to configure some settings to make this script work. Check instructions below on how configure those settings.

Instructions:

1. Register and create an app from spotify dashboard. Spotify will provide you with a Client ID.

   • In .env file copy and paste the id inside "spotify_client_id".
   • Copy the url of spotify playlist that you want to convert and paste it in "playlist_url".
   • Inside your spoitfy application open edit settings and set Redirect URI to :http://127.0.0.1:8000/

2. Open google develoeprs console.

   • Create a new project.
   • Search for "YouTube Data API v3" in Library and enable it for your app.
   • To use this API you will need to create credentials. But before that you will need to create oauth consent.
   • On OAuth consent screen select User Type External and create.
   • Fill up the app registration form.
   • Add ../auth/youtube scope.
   • And add your email in test users.
   • Now, from Credentials, Create OAuth client ID.
   • Set application type to web application.
   • Set Authorized redirect URI: http://127.0.0.1:8888/
   • An OAuth client will be created. Download the json file and move it to your working directory. And rename it to client_secret.json.

3. Create a virtual environment and install requirements.

   • Create venv: python3 -m venv env
   • Install requirements: pip install requirements.txt
   • Activate venv: source env/bin/activate

4. Run the script as python3 playlist-converter.py.

   • The browser will open and request for Spotify access. On granting access, you will be redirected to a different url.
   • Copy and paste the redirected url to the console.
   • The browser will open again and ask for Youtube acces. On granting acces to youtube, it will create the playlist and songs from the spotify playlist.

Notes:

• Do not set redirected URI of YouTube and Spotify to the same port.
• Make sure the ports are not being used.
• There is a strict limit on api request to Youtube API. You can find more about it from here.
