This simple script offers the ability to create a "Discover Weekly Albums" playlist containing the albums of the songs from Spotify's "Discover Weekly".

How to run

There are a couple of ways to run this script, you could simply run it via CLI or you can do all via a browser. The first option still requires a browser to run the OAuth authentication process 'tho.

In either of the two configurations you'll need Pipenv to install the required libraries. provide the OAuth client id and secret as required by Spotipy, those should be passed as environment variables:

export SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID='your-spotify-client-id'
export SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET='your-spotify-client-secret'

Running without http server (only CLI)

The script spotify_weekly.py can be run via

export REDIRECT_HOST='localhost:80'
