An unofficial api for Google Play Music.

Project description

gmusicapi allows control of Google Music with Python.

from gmusicapi import Mobileclient

api = Mobileclient()
# after running api.perform_oauth() once:
api.oauth_login('<a previously-registered device id>')
# => True

library = api.get_all_songs()
sweet_track_ids = [track['id'] for track in library
                   if track['artist'] == 'The Cat Empire']

playlist_id = api.create_playlist('Rad muzak')
api.add_songs_to_playlist(playlist_id, sweet_track_ids)

gmusicapi is not supported nor endorsed by Google.

That said, it’s actively maintained, and powers a bunch of cool projects:

Getting started

Start with the usage docs, which will guide you through installation and the available apis.

Once you’re up and running, you can explore the rest of the docs at http://unofficial-google-music-api.readthedocs.io.

If the documentation doesn’t answer your questions, or you just want to get in touch, either drop by #gmusicapi on Freenode or shoot me an email.
