The taste analysis notebook is very intriguing. I was searching for a way to help a low-tech friend export a Spotify playlist so it could be imported elsewhere, like maybe YouTube. I liked the idea of exportify.net, but I don't have a Spotify account. (I also didn't want to put my friend at risk by sharing their account password.) So I wanted a way to get the playlist without signing in. I had two ideas…
So far, I found one other, (https://www.chosic.com/spotify-playlist-exporter/). It exports as CSV or text. I've not tested the CSV with your notebook yet, but it's a start. Maybe there are other websites that do this, too.
I see your
exportify.js
uses Spotify Web API. I guess that's why the user must log in for it to work. That's great for most people, but wouldn't work for me.Without logging into Spotify, I can use their web UI to see my friend's playlist in a browser. I poked around using developers' tools and found that there were many requests back to their own API. For example, some with the URL
https://api-partner.spotify.com/pathfinder/v2/query
. By copying those as cURL, I could run them in a shell and get the results as JSON. That's pretty good. I wonder whether there's a way to script that using Userscript.These are only some ideas I had. I will explore your notebook more and see whether it can use the CSV or JSON formats I found.
