Discogs Artist Credits Release Videos to Playlist

• Take a discogs artist ID as input (ex: '316989'), fetch all youtube videos on all discogs releases, and add them to a youtube playlist

Roadmap

• This repo can be run locally by following the below instructions, I am working on a web interface version coming soon!

Instructions to run locally:

1. Set Up Google Cloud Project (GCP)

• Go to the Google Cloud Console.
• Create a new project.
• Enable the YouTube Data API v3 for your project.
• Create OAuth2 credentials with a redirect URI: http://localhost:3000/oauth2callback.
• Add the following scopes:
• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.force-ssl
• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube
• Create a .env file (base it off of the .env-template file I've included in this repo)
• Download the OAuth2 client credentials and add the GCP_CLIENT_ID and GCP_CLIENT_SECRET to the .env file.

GCP_CLIENT_ID=
GCP_CLIENT_SECRET=
PLAYLIST_ID=

2. Run the following commands to clone and setup this repo

• git clone https://github.com/MartinBarker/Discogs2Playlist.git
• npm i

3. Fetch all IDs

• Edit discogsArtistYouTubeToJson.js to set the discogs artist id: const artistId = '83376'; // Example artist ID
• You can get a discogs artist id from a url like so:

https://www.discogs.com/artist/656-A-Guy-Called-Gerald
Artist id would be "656"

• Run node discogsArtistYouTubeToJson.js
• This will create a .json file with every youtube id, such as "JammingGerald_44589_youtube_links.json"

4. Create a YouTube playlist

• Create a playlist, and get the playlist id from the url like so:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpQuORMLvnZaEwq6CofOmow8SPCM2LMRM
playlist id is everything after "list=" like so: PLpQuORMLvnZaEwq6CofOmow8SPCM2LMRM

• Set the playlist id in the .env file like so:

GCP_CLIENT_ID=abc123
GCP_CLIENT_SECRET=abc123
PLAYLIST_ID=PLpQuORMLvnZaEwq6CofOmow8SPCM2LMRM

5. Add all youtube videos from the .json file to the yutube playlist:

• Run the script: node addJsonToYoutube.js
