exportify-cli

Export Spotify playlists to CSV or JSON directly from the terminal, inspired by pavelkomarov/exportify.

This tool can export all saved playlists, including liked songs.

Installation:

You can also download a binary from the releases page and skip steps 1 and 2. It's recommended to place it in a dedicated folder since it will create .cache, a config file and playlists folders.

1. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/donmerendolo/exportify-cli.git

2. Install the required packages:

cd exportify-cli
uv sync

3. Set up Client ID, a Redirect URI and a refresh token:

Create a Spotify app in the Spotify Developer Dashboard and copy its Client ID and Redirect URI. The first time you run exportify-cli, it will guide you through the setup:

File "config.cfg" not found or invalid. Let's create it.
Use a Client ID and Redirect URI that belong to the same Spotify app.

Spotify Client ID: 
Redirect URI: 
Enter the URL you were redirected to: 

If you wish to log out, run:

python exportify-cli.py --logout

You may also revoke access in https://www.spotify.com/us/account/apps/.

• Default values can be changed in config.cfg.
• Playlists to export can be set in config.cfg via the playlists key (comma-separated), overridden by --playlist when given.
• Playlist names support partial matching, provided they uniquely identify a single playlist.
• You can also export a playlist that's not saved in your library by using its ID, URL, or URI.
• A single command can export multiple playlists by using the -p option multiple times. Same applies for the -u option.
• You can export all public playlists of any user by using the -u option with their user ID, URL, or URI. It won't save Liked Songs from that user, as it's private.
• The default fields are: Position, Track URI, Track Name, Album Name, Artist Name(s), Release Date, Duration_ms, Popularity, Added By, Added At, Record Label. With flags, Album URI(s), Artist URI(s), Track ISRC and Album UPC can be included too. If you want any other field to be added, feel free to open an issue or PR.

Examples:

# List all saved playlists
python exportify-cli.py --list

# Export all saved playlists, including liked songs with Artist and Album URIs
exportify-cli.exe --all --uris

# Export playlist whose name is "COCHE" to JSON in reverse order
python exportify-cli.py -p COCHE -f json --reverse

# Export playlist whose ID is "2VqAIceMCzBRhzq6zVmDZw" to current directory, sorted by Added At
exportify-cli.exe -p 2VqAIceMCzBRhzq6zVmDZw --output . --sort-key "Added At"

# Export playlist with its URL to both JSON and CSV
exportify-cli.exe -f json -f csv -p https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2VqAIceMCzBRhzq6zVmDZw?si=16df8ae16c2d492b

# Export playlists "Instrumental" and "COCHE" to CSV without progress bar, sorted by Popularity
