Links

class spotify.Link(session, uri=None, sp_link=None, add_ref=True)

A Spotify object link.

Call the get_link() method on your Session instance to get a Link object from a Spotify URI. You can also get links from the link attribute on most objects, e.g. Track.link.

To get the URI from the link object you can use the uri attribute, or simply use the link as a string:

>>> session = spotify.Session()
# ...
>>> link = session.get_link(
...     'spotify:track:2Foc5Q5nqNiosCNqttzHof')
>>> link
Link('spotify:track:2Foc5Q5nqNiosCNqttzHof')
>>> link.uri
'spotify:track:2Foc5Q5nqNiosCNqttzHof'
>>> str(link)
'spotify:track:2Foc5Q5nqNiosCNqttzHof'
>>> link.type
<LinkType.TRACK: 1>
>>> track = link.as_track()
>>> track.link
Link('spotify:track:2Foc5Q5nqNiosCNqttzHof')
>>> track.load().name
u'Get Lucky'

You can also get Link objects from open.spotify.com and play.spotify.com URLs:

>>> session.get_link(
...     'http://open.spotify.com/track/4wl1dK5dHGp3Ig51stvxb0')
Link('spotify:track:4wl1dK5dHGp3Ig51stvxb0')
>>> session.get_link(
...     'https://play.spotify.com/track/4wl1dK5dHGp3Ig51stvxb0'
...     '?play=true&utm_source=open.spotify.com&utm_medium=open')
Link('spotify:track:4wl1dK5dHGp3Ig51stvxb0')
