I am currently tracking to look up a track's ID based on the song and artist name. I am using the api and spotify library (which can be found here: https://pypi.org/project/spotify/).
Here is an example:
I want to search for this song. The name of this song is called Gee and is sung by 소녀시대. Notice the artist name is in Korean, but in English they are known as Girl's Generation.
When I search for this on spotify using the term "Gee 소녀시대", the following results pop up as expected.
However, If i were to use the following code to search for this on python, the following error pops up.
sp.search(q='artist:' + '소녀시대' + ' track:' + 'Gee', type='track')
Is there anyway for me to search such that the result shows up as expected?
Played around with the code and it actually just requires a very simple solution
sp.search(q='Gee 소녀시대', type='track')

Im still a beginner so maybe the answer is very easy, but I could not find a solution (at least one I could understand) online.
Currently I am learning famous works of art through the app "Anki". So I imported a deck for it online containing over 700 pieces.
Sadly the names of the pieces are in english and I would like to learn them in my mother language (german). So I wanted to write a script to automate the process of translating all the names inside the app. I started out by creating a dictionary with every artist and their art pieces (to fill this dictionary automatically reading the app is a task for another time).
art_dictionary = {
"Wassily Kandinsky": "Composition VIII",
"Zhou Fang": "Ladies Wearing Flowers in Their Hair",
}
My plan is to access wikipedia (or any other database for artworks) that stores the german name of the painting (because translating it with a eng-ger dictionary often returns wrong results since the german translation can vary drastically):
replacing every space character inside the name to an underscore
letting python access the wikipedia page of said painting:
import re
from urllib.request import urlopen
painting_name = "Composition_VIII" #this is manual input of course
url = "wikipedia.org/wiki/" + painting_name
page = urlopen(url)
somehow access the german version of the site and extracting the german name of the painting.
html = page.read().decode("utf-8")
pattern = "<title.*?>.*?</title.*?>" #I think Wikipedia stores the title like <i>Title</i>
match_results = re.search(pattern, html, re.IGNORECASE)
title = match_results.group()
title = re.sub("<.*?>", "", title)
storing it in a list or variable
inserting it in the anki app
maybe this is impossible or "over-engineering", but I'm learning a lot along the way.
I tried to search for a solution online, but could not find anything similar to my problem.
You can use dictionary comprehension with the replace method to update all the values (names of art pieces in this case) of the dictionary.
art_dictionary = {
"Wassily Kandinsky": "Composition VIII",
"Zhou Fang": "Ladies Wearing Flowers in Their Hair",
}
art_dictionary = {key:value.replace(' ', '_') for key,value in art_dictionary.items()}
print(art_dictionary)
# Output: {'Wassily Kandinsky': 'Composition_VIII', 'Zhou Fang': 'Ladies_Wearing_Flowers_in_Their_Hair'}
i am trying to recover spotify ID's of some tracks i got title and artist, and while i was trying to complete the task i came across a strange situation:
the track is the following:
"artist" : "Noisettes",
"track" : "Don't Upset The Rhythm (Go Baby Go)"
The track exists and seems written the same way (so no spaces, strange characters), i manually found the spotifyid of the item ("6Pfp47eUtnj2D1LMMtmDne"), but when i perform the search specifing this query parameter
q=artist%3ANoisettes+track%3ADon%27t+Upset+The+Rhythm+%28Go+Baby+Go%29&type=track
by the search for item
https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/#/operations/search
it returns a response with 0 items, meaning it didn't match any item.
Do you have an idea why this happens?
Introduction
Hello. I am currently building a web application that takes a random song and put it into a spotify playlist. (The user can't choose which songs he wants)
So I search the input with the spotify api and get a list of results.
Problem
Since spotify is returning not always the best result, I wanted to loop through the results and find the best matching one. How would you achieve the best result?
My attempt
The first thing I tried, was matching the strings with the fuzzywuzzy library.
This looked something like this:
song_ratio = ratio(real_song_name,result_song_name)
This was good and it helped a lot but what is with songs that just have a different punctuation?
So what I did is removing the punctuation with:
song_name = song_name.translate(str.maketrans('', '', punctuation))
I want also want to avoid Karaoke, Remastered or Live Versions, etc. e.g.:
Stay with Me Till Dawn - Live in the UK, 1982 / 2010 Remaster from Judie Tzuke
Just filtering by this names would make no sense because they appear not in the same shape.
Another problem:
Searching for the song "Fascination" from "Jane Morgan And The Troubadors"
What I get is:
Best found song: Its Been A Long Long Time to 22 % match<br>
Best found artist: Jane Morgan 54 %
Would I just have queried for the song "Fascination" from "Jane Morgan" i would get:
Best found song: Fascination 100 % <br>
Best found artist: Jane Morgan 100 %
Question
What is a good way to solve this issue? Is it possible to train a neural network to process my strings into the right format and then find the best matching?
Something you could try is to use the advanced query syntax offered by Spotify search, and only search for part of the song title/artist name. For example your query for "Fascination" from "Jane Morgan And The Troubadors" could become:
artist:"Jane Mo" track:"Fascin"
and still return the correct result.
This query looks for the exact string 'Jane M' appearing in the artist name and 'Fascin' in the track title.
tldr: how to access the FULL tweet body with JSON?
Hello
I have a problem finding the full text of a tweet in JSON.
I am making a python app with tweepy. I would like to take a status, and then access the text
EDIT
I used user_timeline() to get a tweet_list. Then got one tweet from them like this:
tweet=tweet_list[index]._json
now when I do this:
tweet['text']
it returns a shortened tweet with a link to the original
eg:
Unemployment for Black Americans is the lowest ever recorded. Trump
approval ratings with Black Americans has doubl…
(the shortened link, couldn't directly link due to stackoverflow rules)
I want to return this:
Unemployment for Black Americans is the lowest ever recorded. Trump
approval ratings with Black Americans has doubled. Thank you, and it
will get even (much) better! #FoxNews
I don't mind if the link is added as long as the full tweet is shown
Okay after looking a bit more. I believe it is impossible to do it directly with JSON
There is a solution here about getting the full tweet. you can see it here
The problem with the answer above is that full_text turn the object into a string. if you need the object in its initial state to use it later with json to get other info. do the following:
use tweet_mode="extended" in user_timeline() and save it in tweet_list. eg:
tweet_list = api.user_timeline("user", count=10, tweet_mode="extended")
take one tweet only like this: tweet=tweet_list[0]
if you want the full text tweet, do this: tweet.full_text
if you need a json version of the object do this jtweet = tweet._json or just access the key like this tweet._json['id']
Hope that helps
You didn't provide any information about, how you want to achieve your goal. Looking at tweepy API, there is optional flag argument full_text which you can pass to function. get direct message function
It defaults to false causing that returned messages are shortened to 140 chars. Just set it at True and see what happen.
I havent used Python before but, am told this would be a good language to use for this process. I have a list of Lat/ Long coordinates that i need to convert into a business name. Any ideas where i might find documentation on how to complete this process?
Example:
Doc: LatLong.txt (Has a list of lat / long seperated by columns)
I need to run that list against the Places API with a max radius of 30 and return any businesses (BusinessName, Addy, Phone, etc.) within that radius.
from googleplaces import googleplaces
YOUR_API_KEY = 'aa262fad30e663fca7c7a2be9354fe9984f0b5f2'
google_places = googleplaces(YOUR_API_KEY)
query_result = google_places.nearby_search(lat_lng=41.802893, -89.649930,radius=20000)
for place in query_result.places:
print (place.name)
print (place.geo_location)
print (place.reference)
place.get_details()
print (place.local_phone_number)
print (place.international_phone_number)
print (place.webite)
print (place.url)
is what im playing around with..
Google has some pretty good documentation for getting started:

You should edit your question and include more detail, what have you tried? what worked? what didn't work?
