## What's librespot-python?
librespot-python is a python port of Spotify's open source client library
[librespot](https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot).
It was created to play Spotify on various platforms and devices.
## What do you need?
In order to develop with this library, you need to use Python.
Python can be downloaded from [the official website here](https://python.org/).
## Disclaimer
Please keep in mind that this library is not like Spotify approved.
Therefore, the worst that can happen is that you will be banned from Spotify.
Also, please keep in mind that this library is in alpha and may behave in unintended ways.
## Installation
You can download this library in the following way.
Stable Version
```commandline
pip install librespot
```
Snapshot Version **\*Recommended**
```commandline
pip install git+https://github.com/kokarare1212/librespot-python
```
## Usage
### Get Spotify's OAuth token
```python
from librespot.core import Session
session = Session.Builder() \
.user_pass("Username", "Password") \
.create()
aceess_token = session.tokens().get("playlist-read")
```
### Get Music Stream
*Currently, music streaming is supported, but it may cause unintended behavior.
```python
from librespot.core import Session
from librespot.metadata import TrackId
from librespot.audio.decoders import AudioQuality, VorbisOnlyAudioQuality
session = Session.Builder() \
.user_pass("Username", "Password") \
.create()
track_id = TrackId.from_uri("spotify:track:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx")
stream = session.content_feeder().load(track_id, VorbisOnlyAudioQuality(AudioQuality.VERY_HIGH), False,
None)
# stream.input_stream.stream().read() to get one byte of the music stream.
# ex: 1 (If there is no more voice data, -1 is received as the result.)
```
## Debug
To display the debug information, you need to inject the following code at the
top of the code.
```python
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
```
