Minim

Minim is a lightweight Python 3 library that can interface with APIs by popular music services—iTunes, Qobuz, Spotify, and TIDAL—and operate on audio files, such as updating metadata and converting between audio formats.

Documentation: https://bbye98.github.io/minim/

Features

minim.audio: Audio file handlers for reading and writing metadata and converting between audio formats.
minim.itunes: A client for the iTunes Search API.
minim.qobuz: A client for the Qobuz API with support for the password grant type for user authentication and user authentication token caching.
minim.spotify: Clients for the Spotify Lyrics service and the Spotify Web API with support for the authorization code, authorization code with proof key for code exchange (PKCE), and client credentials grant types, and access token caching.
minim.tidal: Clients for the old and new TIDAL APIs with support for the authorization code with PKCE and client credentials grant types, and access token caching.

Installation

Minim requires Python 3.9 or later.

Clone the repository and install the package using pip:

git clone https://github.com/bbye98/minim.git
cd minim
python -m pip install -e .

Examples

Import Minim and create clients for the different APIs. Additional keyword arguments can be passed to the constructors to control user authentication.

from minim import itunes, qobuz, spotify, tidal client_itunes = itunes.SearchAPI() client_qobuz = qobuz.PrivateAPI() client_spotify = spotify.WebAPI(flow="web_player") client_tidal = tidal.PrivateAPI(client_id=)
