✗ from spotifyscraper import Spotify

Fetch a Spotify playlist by its ID (found in URL) and print the first three tracks.

from spotifyscraper import Spotify sp = Spotify() playlist = sp.get_playlist('37i9dQZF1DXcBWIGoYBM5C') print(playlist['name']) for track in playlist['tracks'][:3]: print(track['name'], '-', track['artists'])

Debug

Known issues

breakingIn v2.0.0, the entire API changed from function-based to class-based. Old code like 'import spotifyscraper; spotifyscraper.get_track(...)' will fail.

fix

Use the Spotify class and its methods (get_playlist, get_track, etc.).

affects: <2.0.0

breakingReturn types changed in v2.1.0: 'get_playlist' now returns a dict instead of a custom Playlist object. Code relying on attribute access (e.g., 'playlist.name') will break.

fix

Access data via dictionary keys: 'playlist['name']' instead of 'playlist.name'.

affects: <2.1.0

gotchaThis library does NOT use the official Spotify Web API. It scrapes public-facing data from Spotify's web pages. Data may be incomplete or break without notice.

fix

Use the official Spotify API (spotipy) if you need reliability and structured data.

affects: all

deprecatedThe 'get_track_lyrics' method is no longer functional since Spotify removed lyrics from public web endpoints in late 2024.

fix

Remove calls to 'get_track_lyrics' or catch exceptions gracefully.

affects: >=2.0.0
