Spotivy

Spotify music videos downloader

Download all tracks from your Spotify playlists as videos or MP3.

How it Works

Spotivy gets the track information from Spotify and then search YouTube in the format of ${artist_name} - ${track_name}.

To decide which video to download from the returned list, it applies a very simple test for each item:

video was published by any VEVO affiliated channel?
video channel contains official in its name?
video contains official in its title?

If any of these assertions is true for the video being tested, this is the media that will be downloaded.

It's not precise, but it does the job 90% of the time. Any suggestion is welcome!

Configuration

Install the CLI
```
npm install -g spotivy
```
Follow the instructions in the init command:
```
spotivy init
```
Basically, you'll need to create the keys to use Spotify and YouTube APIs, and configure the tool with them:
1. Create an YouTube API key and put in the specified prompt.
2. Create an application on Spotify Developers website, get the Client ID and Client Secret values, and do the same when requested by the tool.
- Note: You can also pass the credentials in each command call:
```
spotivy playlist danguilherme --spotify-client-id=clientid --spotify-client-secret=clientsecret --youtube-key=ytkey
```
