How to get epsisode from spotify podcasts?¶
The Spotify Web API allows you to get metadata about music artists, albums, tracks, and podcasts, including episodes. To get episodes from a podcast, you would generally follow these steps:
-
Register your App: Before you start using the Spotify API, you'll need to register an application in the Spotify Developer Dashboard and get your
Client ID
andClient Secret
. -
Authentication: Use your
Client ID
andClient Secret
to get an OAuth token. You can use this token to make authorized API requests. -
Get Podcast ID: You need the Spotify ID for the podcast whose episodes you want to fetch. You can get this through a search API call or by looking at the podcast URL on Spotify's platform.
-
Fetch Episodes: Once you have the Podcast ID, you can fetch its episodes.
Here's a Python code snippet using the requests
library to fetch episodes of a podcast. This is a basic example and doesn't include pagination or error handling.
import requests
def get_spotify_token(client_id, client_secret):
auth_url = 'https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token'
auth_response = requests.post(auth_url, {
'grant_type': 'client_credentials',
'client_id': client_id,
'client_secret': client_secret,
})
auth_data = auth_response.json()
return auth_data['access_token']
def get_podcast_episodes(podcast_id, token):
base_url = f"https://api.spotify.com/v1/shows/{podcast_id}/episodes"
headers = {
"Authorization": f"Bearer {token}"
}
response = requests.get(base_url, headers=headers)
return response.json()
# Replace these with your Spotify Developer credentials
client_id = 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID'
client_secret = 'YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET'
# Replace with the Spotify ID of the podcast you're interested in
podcast_id = 'YOUR_PODCAST_ID'
token = get_spotify_token(client_id, client_secret)
episodes = get_podcast_episodes(podcast_id, token)
print(episodes)
Using FASTAPI and MongoDB, you could easily integrate this logic into a FASTAPI service and store the podcast episodes in a MongoDB collection for further use or analysis.
