Plugins features

Browse tracks

You can use plugin to issue any tracks provider (like Spotify) a query.

from music_browser.plugins import SpotifyPlugin

spotify = SpotifyPlugin(
    client_id="97e316da02e94644b332c3ad77554c68", client_secret="9b999c62cf324a428a335a7d87b3d0a9"
)
tracks = spotify.search(query)

for simple_track in tracks:
    print(simple_track)

As a result you will get a list of SimpleTrack, an object containing most basic properties of a track.

Make your own plugin

First of all, your plugin should inherit from the Plugin base class. You will have to implement the following methods.

from typing import List, Set
from music_browser.plugins import Plugin
from music_browser.models import SimpleTrack, FullTrack


class DeezerPlugin(Plugin):
    @property
    def known_fields(self) -> Set[str]:
        # indicates list of field that your plugin can return
        return {"title", "artist", "album"}

    def complete(self, simple_track) -> FullTrack:
        # workout full track properties
        return FullTrack(...)

    def search(self, query) -> List[SimpleTrack]:
        # workout search results
        return [SimpleTrack(...), ..., SimpleTrack(...)]

Objects structure

SimpleTrack

A SimpleTrack object has the following structure. It is returned when a list of tracks is asked to give a quick preview of each track. If later you would like to query more details, refere to FullTrack.

simple_track.__json__()
{
    "title": "Lovers On the Sun (Metal Version)",
    "artist": "UMC",
    "album": "Lovers On the Sun (Metal Version)",
    "cover": "https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67616d0000b273fa786b81f34442a68738be05",
    "source": {
        "id": "5fVCKGCQcZ1VPJNZrWqCO0",
        "platform": "spotify"
    }
},
