python - get the name of a track from its id in spotipy

Question

I have found lots of methods to get the id of a Spotify track but I haven't managed to find a method where I can get the name of one, couldn't find anything in the docs, or I'm just looking in the wrong place. Can anyone help?

Answer 1

The track() function returns all kinds of information about a track in JSON format. To access the name, simply do something like:

track = 'spotify:track:0Svkvt5I79wficMFgqEQJ'
track = sp.track(track)

print(track["name"])
