Setting up environment

Install the required python packages

pip install google-auth google-auth-oauthlib google-auth-httplib2 spotipy pytube

Spotify part

  • Go to the Spotify Developer Dashboard and log in with your Spotify account.
  • Click on the "Create an App" button and fill out the necessary information, such as the name and description of your application.
  • Once you've created the app, you'll be taken to the app dashboard. Here, you'll find your client ID and client secret, which are used to authenticate your application with the Spotify API.
  • After getting your client ID and client secret.
  • Create a file spotify_client.py
  • Add required import statement
from dataclasses import dataclassimport spotipyfrom spotipy.oauth2 import SpotifyClientCredentials
  • Create data class Playlist to access data easily
@dataclassclass Playlist:    name: str    description: str    tracks: list[str]
  • Create class SpotipyClient
class SpotifyClient:    def __init__(self) -> None:        client_id = "<your_client_id>"        client_secret = "<your_client_secret>"        auth_manager = SpotifyClientCredentials(client_id=client_id, client_secret=client_secret)        self.spotify = spotipy.Spotify(auth_manager=auth_manager)    def get_playlist(self, id: str):        playlist = self.spotify.playlist(id)        queries = []        tracks = playlist['tracks']['items']        for track in tracks:            track_name = track['track']['name']            artists = ', '.join([artist['name'] for artist in track['track']['artists']])            queries.append(f'{track_name} by {artists}')        return(Playlist(playlist['name'], playlist['description'], queries))

On class initialization, login into the Spotify using credentials and get_playlist method fetch the playlist name, description and track name for search query and return a Playlist.

YouTube part

  • Go to the Google Cloud Console, sign in with your Google account, and create a new project.
  • Once your project is created, select it from the project dropdown menu in the top navigation bar.
  • Go to the Credentials page in the API & Services section of the left sidebar.
  • Click on the "Create Credentials" button and select "OAuth client ID".
  • After creating select edit button in the OAuth 2.0 Client IDs, Under 'Authorized JavaScript origins' add this URI http://localhost:8080 and under "Authorized redirect URIs
  • " add this URI http://localhost:8080/ and then click save.
  • Click the download button to download the credentials in your project directory. Rename the file to client_secret.json
  • Go to the OAuth consent screen in the API & Services section of the left sidebar. Under test user add your Gmail id.
  • Create file youtube_client.py
  • Add import statements
from pytube import Searchfrom pytube.contrib.search import loggerfrom google_auth_oauthlib.flow import InstalledAppFlowfrom googleapiclient.discovery import buildlogger. Disabled = True

The logger of pytube is disabled to avoid unnecessary warings.

  • Create class YouTubeClient
class YouTubeClient:    def __init__(self) -> None:        flow = InstalledAppFlow.from_client_secrets_file(            "client_secret.json",            scopes=["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.force-ssl"],        )        creds = flow.run_local_server()        self.youtube = build("youtube", "v3", credentials=creds)    def create_playlist(self, name: str, description: str):        playlist = (            self.youtube.playlists()            .insert(                part="snippet,status",                body={                    "snippet": {                        "title": name,                        "description": description,                        "defaultLanguage": "en",                    },                    "status": {"privacyStatus": "public"},                },            )            .execute()        )        return playlist    def add_song_playlist(self, playlist_id: str, video_id: str):        request = (                self.youtube.playlistItems()                .insert(                    part="snippet",                    body={                        "snippet": {                            "playlistId": playlist_id,                            "resourceId": {"kind": "youtube#video", "videoId": video_id},                        }                    },                )            )        playlist_item = request.execute()        return playlist_item    def search_video(self, query: str):        return Search(query).results[0].video_id

On class initialization, login into the YouTube using OAuth. Method create_playlist just create playlist with given name and description and add_song_playlist method add video to the given playlist.

Driving Code

  • Finally to drive a code, create new file, main.py
import sysimport timefrom spotify_client import SpotifyClientfrom youtube_client import YouTubeClientspotify = SpotifyClient()youtube = YouTubeClient()spotify_playlist_id = sys.argv[1]spotify_playlist = spotify.get_playlist(spotify_playlist_id)youtube_playlist_id = youtube.create_playlist(spotify_playlist.name, spotify_playlist.description)['id']for track in spotify_playlist.tracks:    print(f"Searching for {track}")    id = youtube.search_video(track)    youtube.add_song_playlist(youtube_playlist_id, id)    print("Added...")    time.sleep(1)print("Done ")print(f"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list={youtube_playlist_id}")You get playlist id from the playlist URL of spotify. In this script, the playlist id get as command line args.
  • Run this script
python main.py <playlist_id>

This will open a browser window to login into the google account. Just login into it. After execution of script it will print the playlist link.

Thank you
