Fetch the current years statistics from Spotify API

[samip5]

Hi,

I think there should be a way to loop though all of the months of the previous year, eg 2021, and import all of that to the database if user wants. Shouldn't that be possible?

Or this could be implemented in a way in which your_spotify would accept an File from the history data that you get when you request your personal data from Spotify.

This is something I talked about in #26. The Spotify privacy data is really simple and that would need your_spotify to execute search calls. This is something I can implement, but I will need time for it

The workflow would basically mean that back-end needs to process the file/files, and then fetch the metadata for them using search? I could potentially work on this, but I would like to work on with updated deps first aka #61.
The frontend would then also need an ability to send an file to the backend?

I highly appreciate your interest in this project. Yes it would mean having an "Upload your privacy data" in the Settings section.
Then I don't know if it should overwrite all the user songs or try to detect duplicates, but I think first decision is more stable.
Afterthat, we will need a route indicating the current progress of the import.
The most important issue is to respect Spotify request rate, to have an import feature that is as fast as possible but does not break the core.

I requested my data to spotify and will try to work on it once acquired.

[samip5]

I have done the same, aka requested the data.

That data is quite not useful, as there is almost no way to properly search for the song just by the name of it. :(

I feel like we could maybe search for the songs with the Spotify api right ? I don't know how precise we can be

Yes, but that's rather difficult to match with..

I feel like we can search with filters such as artists and track name. Maybe it's worth a shot.

@samip5 actions are running for importing from privacy 😇

So how does one ask for extended history from Spotify?

[Yooooomi]

You're quite reactive, it tells you in the mail and in the page how to do it, you think I should include it? I feel like I should let spotify inform people for that

It doesn't tho in the email?

[Yooooomi]

Okay it's on the page then

[samip5]

I think you should include where to find the how at least in your docs. :)

It's in! Closing now, feel free to test the feature and give some feedback :)
