Very easy and non-intrusive way to export any Spotify playlist to JSON. No tools, installs or suspicious logins required.
Just copy the contents of export_spotify_playlist_to_json.js into the console of the web version of Spotify while looking at a playlist and it will give you a JSON file with every track's title, album and artists.
- Copy the code from export_spotify_playlist_to_json.js
- Open the web version of Spotify
- Navigate to your playlist of choice, make sure it is scrolled to the top and that both "title" and "album" columns are visible
- Press Ctrl-Shift-i on your keyboard to open devtools, navigate to the console tab
- Paste the code, hit enter and wait for it to finish
I made this script so I could make backups of my playlists in case something were to happen to my account or Spotify itself. I couldn't find a safe looking solution online so I ended up making my own and thought I might as well share it. I didn't spend a whole lot of time on it so it might not work for you and the code could have been neater etc. etc. It's just a quick little script that does the job ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I also can't promise this will keep working forever as it is just looking at the page's HTML meaning that if Spotify updates it, this script might need to update too.
