A extremely minimal client library for some portions of the spotify web api which only implements the clients credentials flow.
It's currently not on pip. Therefore to install it on your machine either clone or download the repository and run either:
pip setup.py install
or if you are interested in modifying it
pip setup.py develop
As of right now only the following sections of the API are supported:

As of right now only the client credentials flow is supported. To use this you must have a spotify Client ID and Client Secret. You can get those by registering here.
I recommend setting these two as environment variables on your computer which will cause the the library to automatically find them. You will need to set them equal to SPOTIFY_ID and SPOTIFY_SECRET. This can be done by modifying your .bash_profile and adding
export SPOTIFY_ID="Your ID"
export SPOTIFY_SECRET="Your Secret key"
You can then just do:
from spotify_web_api import Spotify
spy = Spotify()You can also pass the two through the constructor when you create a Spotify object:
from spotify_web_api import Spotify
SPOTIFY_ID = "Your Client Id"
SPOTIFY_SECRET = "Your secret key"
spy = Spotify(client_id=SPOTIFY_ID, client_secret=SPOTIFY_SECRET)Get the all tracks for an album
spy.get_album_tracks("time will die and love will bury it")Get all the albums (only LPs) for a specific artist
spy.get_artist_albums("converge", include_groups="album")Get all the spotify playlists for a specific category
spy.get_category_playlists("rock")Get the audio features for several tracks
tracks = ['beauty in falling leaves', 'me & my dog']
spy.get_audio_features(tracks)Search for a specific track, album, artist, or playlist
spy.search("imperial triumphant", "artist")To run the tests you will need to have pytest installed. Once you do, go over to the tests directory and run
pytest -v
Please feel free to fork this or submit a pull request. There are obviously quite a lot of parts of the api this is missing so implement it if you want. If you do choose to submit a pull request please write the appropriate tests for the added features.
