SpotifyPlaylist Alpha

A .NET console app that reads tracks from a Spotify playlist, searches for the matching songs on YouTube, creates a YouTube playlist, and adds the matched videos to it.

Features

• Reads playlist tracks from Spotify
• Searches YouTube for each song and artist
• Creates a new YouTube playlist
• Adds the first matching YouTube result for each track
• Uses environment variables for API credentials

Requirements

• .NET 6 SDK
• Spotify Developer application credentials
• Google Cloud project with the YouTube Data API enabled
• OAuth client secret JSON file for YouTube access

Setup

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/benbop/SpotifyPlaylist-alpha.git
cd SpotifyPlaylist-alpha

Set the required environment variables:

export SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID="your_spotify_client_id"
export SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET="your_spotify_client_secret"
export YOUTUBE_CLIENT_SECRET_PATH="/path/to/client_secret.json"

On Windows PowerShell:

$env:SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID="your_spotify_client_id"
$env:SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET="your_spotify_client_secret"
$env:YOUTUBE_CLIENT_SECRET_PATH="C:\path\to\client_secret.json"

Before running, update SpotifyApiCalls.cs and replace YOUR_PLAYLIST_ID with the Spotify playlist ID you want to copy. You can also change the generated YouTube playlist title in YoutubeApiCalls.cs.

Running

dotnet run --project SpotifyPlaylist-alpha

The first run opens the Google OAuth flow so the app can create and update a playlist on your YouTube account.
