Music: Add YouTube link
Need to find a mapping from spotify track id to youtube id, if possible.
What is the goal exactly here ? Feed a spotify track id and find the matching youtube id ?
This is more of an investigation task, hence I'm not assigning this task to a particular person. The code change will be minimalistic. Please share your findings in this thread. 😄
After looking around there doesn't seem to be foolproof method to do it as a 1-1 mapping of the ID to the youtube link, but querrying the youtube API for "ARTIST - SONGNAME" gives very good results.
Hey! I'd like to work on this. In which file do I have to add this feature?
@swapagarwal Is this issue still open? If yes, can you assist me with this? Thanks.
Since this is not being assigned to anyone and appears to still be open I can work on this too if you don't mind. I think I would take Jakod96's advice and just query Youtube since Spotify and Youtube are not connected in any way.
@swapagarwal hi, i need done some commit in python for my Python classes at Unicersity. Is it still open ? Do you think is it proper for beginners to do this commit ? Can You give some advice where to start ? I have founded music.py for spotify
I'll give it a go as I could have found a way to do it, but does anybody know how I could find an artist name and song name from the spotify link
This is my first open source project. I was wondering what you guys needed done and how I could contribute to it
I'm new to git, but here's my idea. Could we try to get the spotify page with the id, scrape that page for the name of the song, and use the YT API to look up the name of the song on YouTube and get a link? I know this is very clunky but the first thing that came to mind. Thougts?
@elkku26 There are some Python libraries that would be good for that, but it might be easier to get access to the Spotify (spotipy) and YT (YouTube Data API Documentation) APIs as those will be in a more "machine readable" format. Song name probably won't be quite enough to ensure accurate results as songs are sometimes covered by other artists, or used as background music by various content creators on YT.
With all of that said, it seems that you're on the right track! If you can pull the artist name, and the song name from the Spotify API, then it's a matter of figuring out of how to translate that into an old-fashion "Google Hacks" style search query.
TL;DR: The search you would want to make would be something similar to "{{ artist_name }} - Topic" "{{ track_name }}".
YT started aggregating music videos and singles under a topic for the artist when YT was experimenting with YTMusic. Searching in the web interface for "{{ artist_name }} - Topic" (the quotations tell the search function to look for that specific string) would provide all of the songs, singles, promotional videos, and music videos that have been identified as the artist's intellectual property. Running a search for "{{ track_name }}" would provide videos that are titles as close to the specific track_name.
For example: If I were to search Spotify for the song used in the U.S. trailer for "Man on Fire" and find "The Mark Has Been Made" by Nine Inch Nails, I would then search YT with the query "Nine Inch Nails - Topic" "The Mark Has Been Made".
I would like to assist in this issue if at all possible. I'm very new to python, but hope at the very least to add some insight in to solving this.
Glad to see this project isn't entirely dead. I'll get home in a few hours and I'll try to get a basic prototype working. I'll update when I've made some progress.
I took a look at the API. It seems that it doesn't support unauthorised requests anymore, meaning you need to have the requests connected to a Spotify account. That makes it a bit harder I think but I'll try to get it working.
I have some good experience with the Spotify API; if this is still open, I'm willing to help with this.
