Major Update: Now added YT-DLP to the project. Now whenever you put in a valid link you get more than just the metadata. You also get the top 5 best matches from YouTube Music. This took a while because I had to learn to properly call and use the YT-DLP package in python. I created 3 helper functions. The first created the search query using the metadata, the second returned the search results, and the last one formatted and returned the results. I created one last function as a wrapper, such that when I passed in the metadata it returned the YouTube Music search results. When calling yt_dlp.YoutubeDL(), I got a type error when passing the parameters. This was because the package expected its own datatype, while I was simply passing a dictionary. I was able to fix this by setting the type to “Any” when passing in the argument. I also changed main.py to include the YouTube search results. Now, whenever you pass in a Spotify link you get the song metadata as well as well as the top 5 best matches from YouTube Music.
