Automate saving your Discover Weekly Playlist using Python.
Made with <3 and FastAPI.
The saved playlist link is sent to my discord server via a webhook.

The highlighted portion as shown in the image is the Spotify Playlist ID.

Extract the ID and paste it onto the .env file.
Fill the remaining details in the .env file.

Run app.py and copy the token supplied. Run main.py and supply the parameters asked.
Check Discord once Successfully created playlist ! is printed on screen.

Running it as a cronjob

A Cron job is used to schedule events without human interaction.
Here I have used the following cronjob to run the FastAPI server.

0 10 * * 1 /usr/bin/python ~/SpotWeekly/app.py 

which basically translates to run app.py at 10:00 AM every Monday.
You can modify the scheduled job according to your convenience using https://crontab.guru.

Now,follow the given instructions :

• In the terminal, type crontab -e. This launches Vi Editor.
• Press i to launch edit mode.
• Copy the text in cron.txt and paste it in the crontab file.
• Type :wq to exit the editor and save changes.
• You should see crontab: installing new crontab.

Roadmap

[ ] Create Docker instance.
[ ] Run this as a cron job using Github Workflows.
[ x ] Create a cron job if locally deployed.
