Of course! "Netease Music Python" can mean a few different things. I'll cover the most common interpretations, from the most practical (using a library) to the most educational (scraping).

The Practical Way: Using a Python Library (Recommended)
The best way to interact with Netease Music (网易云音乐) in Python is to use a dedicated library that handles the API for you. The most popular and well-maintained one is netease-music-api.
This library allows you to search for songs, get lyrics, manage playlists, and more, all with simple Python function calls.
Step 1: Install the Library
First, you need to install the library using pip. It's highly recommended to install it in a virtual environment.
# Create a virtual environment (optional but good practice) python -m venv my_music_env # Activate the virtual environment # On Windows: my_music_env\Scripts\activate # On macOS/Linux: source my_music_env/bin/activate # Install the library pip install netease-music-api
Step 2: Get Your Cookie (Authentication)
Netease Music's web API requires a cookie to authenticate your requests. Here's how to get it:

- Log in to the Netease Music Web Player in your browser (Chrome or Firefox is recommended).
- Open the Developer Tools (usually by pressing
F12orCtrl+Shift+I/Cmd+Option+I). - Go to the Network tab.
- Reload the page.
- Find a request to an API endpoint (e.g., a request to
https://music.163.com/weapi/song/detail). You can filter byFetch/XHR. - Click on that request and find the Request Headers.
- Copy the value of the
cookieheader. It will be a long string of text.
Security Note: Your cookie is like a password. Don't share it publicly or commit it to a public Git repository. Use environment variables to store it securely.
Step 3: Write Your Python Script
Here’s a complete example of how to use the library to search for a song and get its details.
import os
from netease_music_api import NeteaseMusicAPI
# It's best practice to get the cookie from an environment variable
# For example: export NETEASE_COOKIE="your_long_cookie_string_here"
cookie = os.environ.get("NETEASE_COOKIE")
if not cookie:
print("Error: NETEASE_COOKIE environment variable not set.")
print("Please set it to your Netease Music cookie.")
exit()
# Initialize the API with your cookie
api = NeteaseMusicAPI(cookie=cookie)
def search_and_display_song(song_name):
"""Searches for a song and prints its details."""
print(f"Searching for: {song_name}")
try:
# Search for the song
search_results = api.search(song_name, type=1, limit=5) # type=1 for songs
if search_results['result']['songCount'] <= 0:
print("No songs found.")
return
# Get the first song from the results
first_song = search_results['result']['songs'][0]
song_id = first_song['id']
song_name = first_song['name']
artists = ", ".join(artist['name'] for artist in first_song['ar'])
album_name = first_song['al']['name']
print("\n--- Found Song ---")
print(f"Name: {song_name}")
print(f"Artists: {artists}")
print(f"Album: {album_name}")
print(f"ID: {song_id}\n")
# Get the song's URL (note: this might require a premium account or have regional restrictions)
song_url_result = api.song_url(song_id)
if song_url_result['data'][0]['url']:
print(f"Stream URL: {song_url_result['data'][0]['url']}")
else:
print("Stream URL not available (might be blocked or require premium).")
# Get the lyrics
lyrics_result = api.lyric(song_id)
if lyrics_result['lrc']:
print("\n--- Lyrics (first 200 chars) ---")
print(lyrics_result['lrc']['lyric'][:200] + "...")
else:
print("\n--- Lyrics ---")
print("No lyrics found for this song.")
except Exception as e:
print(f"An error occurred: {e}")
# --- Main execution ---
if __name__ == "__main__":
search_and_display_song("起风了")
# search_and_display_song("周杰伦 稻香")
To run this script:
-
Set the environment variable in your terminal:
(图片来源网络,侵删)# On macOS/Linux export NETEASE_COOKIE="your_long_cookie_string_here" # On Windows (Command Prompt) set NETEASE_COOKIE="your_long_cookie_string_here" # On Windows (PowerShell) $env:NETEASE_COOKIE="your_long_cookie_string_here"
-
Run the Python script:
python your_script_name.py
The Advanced Way: Web Scraping with requests and BeautifulSoup
If you want to understand how the library works or need data that isn't available in the API, you can scrape the Netease Music website yourself. This is more brittle, as the website's HTML structure can change at any time, breaking your code.
Step 1: Install Libraries
You'll need requests to fetch the web page and beautifulsoup4 to parse the HTML.
pip install requests beautifulsoup4
Step 2: The Scraping Script
This script will find the song title and artist from a search result page.
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
def scrape_song_info(query):
"""
Scrapes the first song result from a Netease Music search page.
WARNING: This can break if the website layout changes.
"""
# The search URL. The 's' parameter is the query.
search_url = f"https://music.163.com/search/?s={query}&type=1"
# Set a User-Agent to mimic a real browser
headers = {
'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/91.0.4472.124 Safari/537.36'
}
try:
# Fetch the page
response = requests.get(search_url, headers=headers)
response.raise_for_status() # Raise an exception for bad status codes (4xx or 5xx)
# Parse the HTML
soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, 'html.parser')
# Find the main result container. The selector might change!
# This selector finds the first song link in the search results.
song_link = soup.select_one('#song-box .item.f-cb span a')
if song_link:
song_name = song_link.get_text(strip=True)
print(f"Found song: {song_name}")
else:
print("Could not find a song result. The website structure might have changed.")
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
print(f"Error fetching the URL: {e}")
except Exception as e:
print(f"An unexpected error occurred: {e}")
# --- Main execution ---
if __name__ == "__main__":
scrape_song_info("孤勇者")
Why is scraping less reliable?
- Fragility: If Netease changes the class name from
item.f-cbtosong-result-item, yourselect_onewill fail. - Anti-Scraping: Websites often block scrapers that don't behave like real browsers (using headers, handling cookies, etc.).
- Legal/Ethical: Always check a website's
robots.txtfile (e.g.,https://music.163.com/robots.txt) and Terms of Service before scraping. For personal projects, it's usually fine, but for commercial use, it's a legal minefield.
The GUI Way: Building a Music Player
You can use Python to build a desktop application that controls Netease Music. The most common approach is to use a framework like PyQt or Tkinter to create a GUI and use the netease-music-api library in the background to fetch data.
This is a more advanced project, but here's a simple conceptual structure:
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow, QVBoxLayout, QWidget, QPushButton, QLabel
from netease_music_api import NeteaseMusicAPI # Assuming you have the library and cookie
class MusicPlayerApp(QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.api = NeteaseMusicAPI(cookie="YOUR_COOKIE_HERE") # Initialize API
self.initUI()
def initUI(self):
self.setWindowTitle('Netease Music Player')
self.setGeometry(300, 300, 400, 200)
# Central widget and layout
central_widget = QWidget()
self.setCentralWidget(central_widget)
layout = QVBoxLayout()
# UI Elements
self.search_button = QPushButton('Search for "起风了"', self)
self.search_button.clicked.connect(self.search_song)
self.result_label = QLabel('Click the button to search', self)
layout.addWidget(self.search_button)
layout.addWidget(self.result_label)
central_widget.setLayout(layout)
def search_song(self):
print("Searching...")
results = self.api.search("起风了", type=1, limit=1)
if results['result']['songs']:
song = results['result']['songs'][0]
text = f"Now Playing: {song['name']} - {song['ar'][0]['name']}"
self.result_label.setText(text)
else:
self.result_label.setText("Song not found.")
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
player = MusicPlayerApp()
player.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
This would give you a basic window with a button that, when clicked, fetches song data and displays it.
Summary: Which Method to Choose?
| Method | Pros | Cons | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
netease-music-api Library |
Reliable, easy, official-like API access. | Requires a cookie; can be blocked by Netease. | Almost all use cases. Data analysis, personal automation, building tools. |
| Web Scraping | No API key needed; can get data not in the API. | Brittle, against ToS, can be blocked. | Learning web scraping, or if the API is completely unavailable. |
| Building a GUI App | Creates a user-friendly interface. | More complex to develop; requires GUI framework knowledge. | Creating a custom desktop music player application. |
For any serious project, start with the netease-music-api library. It's the correct tool for the job.
