Not able to pull song cover art from Spotipy API even though it is visible when I print the output dictionary

Question

Here is the printed dic:

{'album': {'album_type': 'single',
  'artists': [{'external_urls': {'spotify': 'https://open.spotify.com/artist/6BrvowZBreEkXzJQMpL174'},

 'track_number': 1,
 'type': 'track',
 'uri': 'spotify:track:1Ca2ELRlvACAeI7xz9c9jR'}

I need to pull this:

'images': [{'height': 640,
        'url': 'https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67616d0000b27397e4c7870cffac76662a92fd',
        'width': 640},
       {'height': 300,
        'url': 'https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67616d00001e0297e4c7870cffac76662a92fd',
        'width': 300},
       {'height': 64,
        'url': 'https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67616d0000485197e4c7870cffac76662a92fd',
        'width': 64}]

This seems easy enough but when I output dic.keys() I get this:

dict_keys(['album', 'artists', 'available_markets', 'disc_number', 'duration_ms', 'explicit', 'external_ids', 'external_urls', 'href', 'id', 'is_local', 'is_playable', 'name', 'popularity', 'preview_url', 'track_number', 'type', 'uri'])

Is this an issue with Spotipy? Any help would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

There is nothing with Spotify API, 'images' key is in 'album'.

Try this:

images = dic['album']['images']
