Adding Spotify support to Obsidian.py

Obsidian.py has built-in support for Spotify, and it’s pretty simple to enable it.

You must have a client ID and secret, which you can generate from Spotify’s API dashboard.

Obsidian.py supports…

• Spotify albums

• Spotify playlists

• Spotify track URLs

• Spotify search

• Ratelimit handling

Enabling spotify support

The recommended way of enabling Spotify support is by passing in two keyword arguments while initiating your node: spotify_client_id and spotify_client_secret.

await obsidian.initiate_node(
    ...,
    spotify_client_id='YOUR_CLIENT_ID',
    spotify_client_secret='YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET'
)

If you already have a connected node with a SpotifyClient, you can use this same client in your other node:

await obsidian.initate_node(
    ...
    spotify=other_node.spotify
)

Making use of Spotify support

Once you’ve enabled support for Spotify, simply start searching your tracks with the source kwarg set to Source.SPOTIFY:

await node.search_track('My song', source=obsidian.Source.SPOTIFY)

You can also create fallbacks to spotify, like so:

query = 'My song'

try:
    track = await node.search_track(
        query,
        source=obsidian.Source.SPOTIFY,
        suppress=False
    )
except obsidian.NoSearchMatchesFound:
    track = await node.search_track(
        query,
        source=obsidian.Source.YOUTUBE
    )
