About Spotify Playlist Archive

The Spotify Playlist Archive is a open source GitHub repository that stores daily snapshots of public Spotify playlists. A Python script scrapes the playlists listed in its registry once a day through GitHub Actions and publishes the results back to the repository. Each playlist is saved in a readable form, and changes to tracks can be followed through the Git history.

The archive records the content a logged-out user would see. Many Spotify playlists are now personalized, so some archived tracks may not match what a particular account sees. Some playlist names have been overridden manually, and playlists that share a name receive a numeric suffix. The main repository exceeded its size quota, so newer data is stored in a second repository.

Key features

  • Daily automated snapshots of public Spotify playlists using GitHub Actions
  • Pretty, cumulative, and plain-text versions of each archived playlist
