n8n Spotify Recently Liked Songs Downloader

This n8n workflow automates the process of fetching recently liked songs from Spotify, filtering them, and preparing the data for further processing or storage. It's designed to run on a schedule, ensuring you always have an up-to-date list of your favorite tracks.

What it does

This workflow performs the following steps:

1. Triggers on a Schedule: The workflow is set to run periodically (e.g., daily, hourly) to check for new liked songs.
2. Fetches Recently Liked Songs from Spotify: It connects to your Spotify account and retrieves a list of tracks that you have recently liked.
3. Filters out Podcasts: It checks each retrieved item to determine if it's a podcast. If an item is identified as a podcast, it is filtered out.
4. Processes Tracks (if not a podcast): For items that are actual music tracks, it extracts relevant information.
5. Aggregates Track Data: It combines the processed track data into a single structure.
6. Splits Out Individual Tracks: The aggregated data is then split into individual items, making each track independently available for subsequent nodes.
7. Filters for Specific Track Type: It applies another filter, likely to ensure only actual "track" type items proceed, further refining the data.
8. Edits Fields for Output: It transforms and renames fields to create a clean and consistent output for each track, including details like track name, artist, album, and Spotify URL.

Prerequisites/Requirements

• n8n Instance: A running n8n instance (self-hosted or cloud).
• Spotify Account: A Spotify account with liked songs.
• Spotify API Credentials: You will need to set up Spotify API credentials within n8n. This typically involves creating a Spotify Developer application to obtain a Client ID and Client Secret.

Setup/Usage

1. Import the Workflow:
   • Download the provided JSON file.
   • In your n8n instance, click on "Workflows" in the left sidebar.
   • Click "New" and then "Import from JSON".
   • Paste the JSON content or upload the file.
2. Configure Spotify Credentials:
   • Locate the "Spotify" node in the workflow.
   • Click on the "Credential" field and select "Create New Credential".
   • Choose "OAuth2 API" for Spotify.
   • Follow the instructions to set up your Spotify OAuth2 credentials (Client ID, Client Secret, and Redirect URL).
3. Activate the Workflow:
   • Once the credentials are set up, activate the workflow by toggling the "Active" switch in the top right corner of the workflow editor.
4. Adjust Schedule (Optional):
   • By default, the "Schedule Trigger" node might be configured for a specific interval. You can adjust this to your preferred frequency (e.g., every hour, once a day) by editing the "Schedule Trigger" node settings.

After activation, the workflow will automatically run according to its schedule, fetching and processing your recently liked Spotify songs. You can then extend this workflow to save the output to a database, a spreadsheet, send notifications, or integrate with other services.
