provider-uri-backfill

Apps & Automation

Recurring backfill job (#1289) that systematically fills missing per-provider track URIs across Beatify playlists. For every song that has a Spotify `uri` but is missing `uri_apple_music` / `uri_tidal` / `uri_deezer`, it resolves the gaps via the keyless Odesli / song.link API (Tidal + Deezer reliably, Apple Music best-effort) with a verifying Deezer-ISRC fallback; missing `uri_youtube_music` is filled via the YouTube Data API behind a resume-cursor + daily quota budget. Rate-limit safe (Odesli throttle + 429 backoff, YouTube daily budget). Emits a per-playlist Markdown coverage report. Use this skill whenever the user asks to backfill provider URIs, fill missing Apple/Tidal/ Deezer/YouTube links, improve provider coverage, run the URI backfill, or check per-playlist provider coverage.

Provider-URI Backfill

Fills missing per-provider streaming URIs across Beatify playlists so games on non-Spotify providers (Music Assistant Apple/Tidal/Deezer/YouTube backends) have something playable for every song. Resolves issue #1289.

When to use

Provider coverage drifts after new playlists are added (they ship Spotify-only or partial).
Periodically, to chip away at the Tidal gap (the biggest — ~52% covered) and top up Apple/Deezer/YouTube.
To regenerate the coverage report (docs/provider-coverage.md).

How to run

The script defaults to dry-run (writes only the coverage report; never touches playlist JSON). Gate real writes behind --apply.

# Dry-run: coverage report only (safe, no JSON mutation). No keys needed for
# the report itself; Odesli is hit only for fillable songs.
python3 .claude/skills/provider-uri-backfill/scripts/backfill_provider_uris.py \
  --repo-root . --playlist eurovision-winners

# Apply: write resolved URIs back to JSON.
python3 .claude/skills/provider-uri-backfill/scripts/backfill_provider_uris.py \
  --repo-root . --playlist eurovision-winners --apply

Run one playlist at a time (--playlist <basename> or --playlist community/<name>) to keep within Odesli's free rate limit. Without --playlist it walks the whole catalog (main + community) — expect this to take a long time because of the 6 s/track Odesli throttle.

Options

Flag	Default	Purpose
`--repo-root`	`.`	Beatify repo root
`--playlist`	all	Process one playlist (basename or `community/<name>`)
`--apply`	off	Write filled URIs back to JSON + bump each modified playlist's `version` (minor +1); else dry-run report only
`--output`	`docs/provider-coverage.md`	Coverage report path
`--state`	`skill/.backfill-state.json`	YouTube resume-cursor + daily-budget state
`--odesli-sleep`	`6.0`	Seconds between Odesli calls (free tier ~10/min)
`--youtube-budget`	`90`	Max YouTube `search.list` calls per day

Resolvers + stored URI formats

The script writes byte-identical stored formats (verified against existing non-null values + a live Odesli probe, 2026-06):

Field	Stored format	Source
`uri_tidal`	`tidal://track/<numeric>`	Odesli `entityUniqueId` `TIDAL_SONG::<id>` (or URL `/track/<id>`)
`uri_deezer`	`deezer://track/<numeric>`	Odesli `DEEZER_SONG::<id>`; fallback `api.deezer.com/track/isrc:<ISRC>`
`uri_apple_music`	`applemusic://track/<numeric>`	Odesli `appleMusic`/`itunes` entity id, when present (often absent — see below)
`uri_youtube_music`	`https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=<11-char-id>`	YouTube Data API `search.list` top hit

If the script cannot confidently extract a numeric id in the expected format for a provider, it skips that provider for that song (it never guesses a format).

Odesli / song.link (primary)

One GET https://api.song.link/v1-alpha.1/links?url=<spotify-url> per track maps the Spotify URI to all providers at once. Keyless, free, ~10 req/min — the script sleeps --odesli-sleep (6 s) between calls and retries HTTP 429 with exponential backoff. If the backoff is exhausted (or any other Odesli error), the track is skipped for this wave (never raised — that would abort the run and lose partial progress); the next wave retries it. Under --apply progress is flushed to disk after every resolved song, so a mid-run 429 wall keeps everything already written, and the independent YouTube phase runs regardless of Odesli's state.

Known limitation: Odesli's keyless responses frequently omit Apple Music entirely (observed live for multiple mainstream tracks, 2026-06). Tidal + Deezer come back reliably. Apple gaps are therefore better served by the existing playlist-health-check Mode 2 (Apple Music API + per-region ISRC), with this skill catching whatever Odesli happens to surface. Deezer has a secondary ISRC verify (api.deezer.com/track/isrc:<ISRC>) when Odesli misses it.

YouTube Data API (YouTube only)

Odesli's youtube field is unreliable for this catalog, so uri_youtube_music uses search.list (100 quota units each; 10,000/day default ⇒ ~100 searches/day). A resume cursor + daily budget in .backfill-state.json cap each run at --youtube-budget searches and resume the catalog scan across days/runs:

{"youtube": {"date": "2026-06-10", "spent_today": 90, "cursor": 512, "budget": 90}}

spent_today resets when the date rolls over; cursor carries forward so the next day continues where the last left off. The key is read from YOUTUBE_API_KEY; if unset the whole YouTube phase is skipped gracefully with a note in the report (no crash). Never hardcode a key.

Coverage report

docs/provider-coverage.md (style like docs/beatify-stats.md): a summary table of per-provider coverage across the whole catalog plus a per-playlist table showing how many songs have Apple/Tidal/Deezer/YouTube vs total, and how many URIs this run filled (0 in dry-run).

Scope / safety

Dry-run by default. --apply is required to mutate JSON. A mass backfill of 2000+ files is a deliberate follow-up, not a side effect of running the report.
Touches only custom_components/beatify/playlists/** JSON and the report — no www/**, no schema changes. There is no uri_amazon_music field, so Amazon is out of scope despite Odesli returning it.
iTunes Search is intentionally NOT used (ban risk); Apple gaps go through the health-check Mode 2 flow.

Tests

Pure logic (Odesli→URI mapping per provider, gap detection, resume-cursor accounting, coverage aggregation) is unit-tested with mocked HTTP in tests/unit/test_provider_uri_backfill.py — no network in tests.
