Generate some visualizations, a video and stats. Inspired by Spotify Wrapped.

Spotify WraPy

English / Español

Create three charts to visualize playbacks by day of the week, hour, and month, one card as image with the top songs listented to. Plus, get some simple counts like total play time in days, hours, and minutes, total playbacks, skipped songs, and the number of different artists and songs you've listened to. Optionally you can generate a video.

Create my charts and stats

1. In the folder with your data, look for the files named something like StreamingHistory.json. It could be only one, example: StreamingHistory0.json.
2. Copy those files and paste them into the spotify_data/ folder inside the repository.
3. Activate the virtual environment, if you haven't done so already.

source .venv/bin/activate

4. In the command line, run:

python3 app.py

It also supports Spanish language: python3 app.py --lang spanish. If this argument is not passed, it will default to English.

Alternatively, you can pass a start and end date to limit the data used, for example:

python3 app.py --lang english --start-date 2022-01-13 --end-date 2023-01-01

And you can generate a video, passing the video flag:

python3 app.py --lang english --video

5. The results will be saved in a folder (named according to the datetime of execution) inside the output folder.

Important note: The timestamp provided by Spotify uses UTC time. By default, this project calculates the timezone of the computer it's run on; you can use a different timezone by running:

python3 app.py --tz America/New_York

You can find the list of timezones at Wikipedia.
