gmusicapi: an unofficial API for Google Play Music

This library allows control of Google Music with 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)

This project is not supported nor endorsed by Google. Use common sense (protocol compliance, reasonable load, etc) and don’t ruin the fun for everyone else.
