Last Updated: August 4, 2025, 21:12 Project Phase: Multi-Source Metadata Enrichment (In Progress)
Goal: Analyze 15 years of personal Spotify listening history with comprehensive metadata enrichment Dataset: 138,761 streaming records, 27,400 unique tracks Approach: Multi-source enrichment strategy (External datasets + Spotify API)
- Total Records: 138,761 streaming records
- Unique Tracks: 27,400 tracks
- Current Combined Coverage: 52.5% of records (72,897 enriched)
- Unique Track Coverage: 40.6% (11,120 tracks with metadata)
-
Kaggle/External Dataset:
- Records: 42,473 (30.6%)
- Unique tracks: 6,130 (22.4%)
- Status: ✅ Complete
-
Spotify API:
- Records: 38,524 (27.8%)
- Unique tracks: 4,990 (18.2%)
- Status: 🔄 Session 1 complete, 3-4 more sessions needed
-
Smart Overlap: 0 tracks (perfect filtering working!)
- ~16,280 unique tracks still need metadata (~59.4%)
- API Progress: 5,500 tracks processed, ~15,700 remaining
- Next API Session: Available after cooldown (~22 hours from last session)

- Rate Limit: 10,000 calls per session (~70k second cooldown)
- Current Status: Hit rate limit after 5,500 tracks (Session 1 complete)
- Next Available: ~22 hours from last session end
- Progress File:
data/enriched/api_metadata_progress.pkl(auto-resume capability)
- ✅ Working perfectly: 0 overlap between Kaggle and API sources
- Avoids duplicate API calls on already-enriched tracks
- Saved ~6,130 API calls in Session 1
- Kaggle Source: Audio features, genres, popularity, track info
- API Source: Official IDs, detailed artist info, album metadata, additional genres
- Success Rates: Kaggle ~22% match, API ~90% success rate

/home/usher/Documents/code/spotify-data/.venv/bin/python scripts/spotify_api/smart_metadata_enrichment.py- Python Environment:
/home/usher/Documents/code/spotify-data/.venv/bin/python - Required packages: pandas, spotipy, kagglehub, tqdm, python-dotenv
- Spotify API credentials: Set in
.envfile (already configured)
- Audio features: acousticness, danceability, energy, valence, tempo, etc.
- Genre classifications
- Track popularity and basic track information
- Artist names and track IDs
- Official Spotify track/artist IDs and URIs
- Track popularity and release dates
- Artist popularity and follower counts
- Detailed genre information from artist profiles
- Complete album metadata
- Note: Audio features API endpoint has 403 errors, skipped
- Wait for API cooldown (~22 hours from last session)
- Resume API enrichment - will auto-continue from batch 111/426
- Complete remaining 3-4 API sessions over next few days
- Final expected coverage: 70-80% when all sessions complete
- Analysis phase: Create visualizations and insights once enrichment complete
- Smart filtering works perfectly - no wasted API calls
- High API success rate (90%+) on tracks not in Kaggle dataset
- Combined approach optimal - Kaggle for speed, API for completeness
- Progress automatically saved - safe to interrupt and resume
- Final coverage target: 70-80% achievable with current approach
- Rate limits: Expected every ~5,000 tracks, plan for multi-day completion
- Authentication: Spotify OAuth working correctly for user "Focuszero"
- File paths: All scripts use proper paths for organized structure
- Memory: Large CSV files, use dtype warnings are normal
- Resume capability: API enrichment will continue from saved progress
📋 STATUS: Ready for next API session when cooldown expires. Project is on track for excellent final coverage!
