Overview

This repository contains two Python scripts that interact with the Spotify API to fetch artist and track images. The scripts are designed to:

• Search for artist images by artist name
• Retrieve track images by Spotify track ID

Prerequisites

Before using these scripts, you'll need:

• Python 3 installed. Required Python packages: requests, pandas
• A Spotify Developer account
• Spotify API credentials (Client ID and Client Secret)

Setup

• Clone this repository
• Obtain your Spotify API credentials:
  • Go to the Spotify Developer Dashboard
  • Create an app to get your Client ID and Client Secret
• Add your credentials to both Python files

Scripts

1. Artist Image Search (Artist_image_search.py)

Purpose: Fetches artist images from Spotify by artist name.

Input Requirements:

• Excel file named artist_names.xlsx
• Excel file must contain a column named "Artist" with artist names

Output:

Creates artist_images.xlsx with two columns:

• Artist: The artist name searched
• Image URL: The URL of the artist's image (or "No image available"/"No artist found")

2. Track Image Search (Tracks_image_search.py)

Purpose: Fetches track/album images from Spotify by track ID.

Input Requirements:

• Excel file named track_ids.xlsx
• Excel file must contain a column named "Track ID" with Spotify track IDs

Output:

Creates track_images.xlsx with two columns:

• Track ID: The Spotify track ID searched
• Image URL: The URL of the track's album image (or "No image available"/"No track found")

Error Handling

Both scripts include basic error handling:

• Invalid artist names/track IDs will be noted in the output
• Missing images will be indicated in the output file

Limitations

• Data Availability: Not all artists/tracks may have images available
