pip install requests

Usage

As a Module

from spotify_to_youtube import convert_spotify_to_youtube

spotify_url = "https://open.spotify.com/track/3n3Ppam7vgaVa1iaRUc9Lp"
youtube_url = convert_spotify_to_youtube(spotify_url)

if youtube_url:
    print(f"YouTube URL: {youtube_url}")
else:
    print("Conversion failed")

Command Line

python spotify_to_youtube.py

Then enter your Spotify track URL when prompted.

Using the Converter Class

from spotify_to_youtube import SpotifyToYouTubeConverter

converter = SpotifyToYouTubeConverter()
result = converter.convert("https://open.spotify.com/track/3n3Ppam7vgaVa1iaRUc9Lp")
print(result)  # https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...

Supported URL Formats

• https://open.spotify.com/track/{id}
• https://play.spotify.com/track/{id}
• spotify:track:{id}

Running Tests

python -m unittest test_spotify_to_youtube -v

How It Works

1. Extract Track ID: Parses the Spotify URL to extract the track ID
2. Get Track Info: Uses Spotify's oEmbed API or page scraping to get artist and title
3. Search YouTube: Searches YouTube for the song using the artist and title
4. Return Result: Returns the first matching YouTube video URL

Limitations

• Requires internet connection
• May not work if Spotify or YouTube changes their API/page structure
• Search results depend on YouTube's search algorithm
