gmusicapi: an unofficial API for Google Play Music
==================================================

gmusicapi allows control of
`Google Music <http://music.google.com>`__ with Python.

.. code-block:: 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:

-  alternate clients, including
   `one designed for the visually impaired <https://github.com/chrisnorman7/gmp3>`__,
   `a web-based jukebox which ships with its own server <https://github.com/chrisnorman7/jukebox>`__,
   `command line <https://github.com/christopher-dg/pmcli>`__
   `clients <https://github.com/and3rson/clay>`__,
   `a FUSE filesystem <https://github.com/EnigmaCurry/GMusicFS>`__,
   and `an Alexa skill <https://github.com/stevenleeg/geemusic>`__
-  library management tools for
   `syncing tracks <https://github.com/thebigmunch/gmusicapi-scripts>`__,
   `syncing playlists <https://github.com/soulfx/gmusic-playlist>`__,
   and `migrating to a different account <https://github.com/brettcoburn/gmusic-migrate>`__
-  proxies for media players, such as
   `gmusicproxy <https://github.com/gmusicproxy/gmusicproxy>`__ and
   `gmusicprocurator <https://github.com/malept/gmusicprocurator>`__,
   as well as plugins for 
   `Mopidy <https://github.com/hechtus/mopidy-gmusic>`__,
   `Squeezebox <https://github.com/squeezebox-googlemusic/squeezebox-googlemusic>`__ and
   `Tizonia <https://github.com/tizonia/tizonia-openmax-il>`__.
-  enhancements like `autoplaylists / smart playlists <https://autoplaylists.simon.codes>`__


Getting started
