The Great Escape Festival 2015 Spotify Playlist

It’s that time of the the year again. The Great Escape Festival announced the first 150 artists on their bill and I’ve compiled them into a handy Spotify playlist.

import spotipy

artists = ['names', 'of'. 'artists']
        
def getArtist(artist):
    spotify = spotipy.Spotify()
    results = spotify.search(q='artist:' + artist, type='artist')
    if results['artists']['total'] > 0:
        for a in results['artists']['items']:
            if a['name'].lower() == artist.decode('utf-8').lower():
                return a
        return None
    else:
        return None
        
def getTop5(artist):
    artist_obj = getArtist(artist)
    if not artist_obj:
        return None
    artist_id = artist_obj['id']
    spotify = spotipy.Spotify()
    results = spotify.artist_top_tracks(artist_id, country='GB')
    return results['tracks'][:5]

with open('TGE15.txt', 'w') as f:
    for a in artists:
        tracks = getTop5(a)
        if tracks:
            for t in tracks:
                f.write(t['uri']+'\n')

import spotipy

artists = ['names', 'of'. 'artists']

def getArtist(artist):

spotify = spotipy.Spotify()

results = spotify.search(q='artist:' + artist, type='artist')

if results['artists']['total'] > 0:

for a in results['artists']['items']:

if a['name'].lower() == artist.decode('utf-8').lower():

return a

return None

else:

return None

def getTop5(artist):

artist_obj = getArtist(artist)

if not artist_obj:

return None

artist_id = artist_obj['id']

spotify = spotipy.Spotify()

results = spotify.artist_top_tracks(artist_id, country='GB')

return results['tracks'][:5]

with open('TGE15.txt', 'w') as f:

for a in artists:

tracks = getTop5(a)

if tracks:

for t in tracks:

f.write(t['uri']+'\n')

Creating a festival playlist on Spotify using python

The problem: You’re going to a festival with more bands than you could ever hope to see. You need a playlist with songs of all the bands playing so you can decide what to go and see and what to give a miss. The solution: From a list of the artists, query the Spotify Search API […]
