Scheduled Python script to backup your personal Spotify playlists incase the platform ever goes down (or you just like having your data).

## Environemnt Variables

You can get Spotify `CLIENT_ID` and `CLIENT_SECRET` values from setting up your own [Spotify Developer Application](https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/applications). Make sure `http://localhost:3000/callback` is set as a Redirect URI.

![](./docs/spotify-developer-app-dashboard.jpg)

```

# .env file

# Values from your Spotify Developer Application

SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID=laboriselitutenimdoculpa

SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET=laboriselitutenimdoculpa

# Your Spotify Username

SPOTIFY_USERNAME=12345678910

# Your Spotify Password

SPOTIFY_PASSWORD=abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

# Comma separated list of usernames of playlist authors.

# This allows you to back up other peoples playlists (that you follow) if you want.

# if left blank, all of your followed/created playlists will be backed up.

SPOTIFY_OWNER_IDS=snoopdogg,drdre,spotify

```

## Run the script

```cmd

python script.py

```

> Under the hood this is running a headless browser to authenticate your user. Once the access token has been fetched, it is then used to query for your playlists and subsequently the tracks within those playlists.

## Github Action Setup

Before your Github Action will run successfully, you must setup the above `.env` variables correctly within the repo.

![](./docs/github-actions-secrets-setup.jpg)

Once setup, you can manually run the job via the `Actions` tab.

### Automated CRON Job

By default, the CRON Job Github Action is disabled. To enable this within your repo, open the `.github/workflows/python-app.yml` file and uncomment the schedule code block.

```yaml

on:

  # schedule:

  #   - cron: '0 3 * * 2'

  workflow_dispatch:

    inputs:

      logLevel:

        description: 'Log level'

        required: true

        default: 'warning' 

        type: choice

        options:

        - info

        - warning

        - debug 

```

> You can use the [crontab](https://crontab.guru/) tool to calculate when and how often you want to run the Github Action.
