Search Track and Add Track to playlist - getting out the spotify track uri

[rosbusterus]

Hi,
I'm currently trying to use the "search track service call" to find a song on spotify to let me add these in the next step to a specific playlist.
When running the service call I get the uri I'm looking for in the response.
Service call example:

service: spotifyplus.search_tracks
data:
  entity_id: media_player.spotifyplus_johannes
  criteria: Songname
  limit: 1
  market: DE

Will give the following result:

user_profile:
  country: DE
  display_name: Johannes
  email: -
  id: -
  product: premium
  type: user
  uri: spotify:user:-
result:
  href: >-
    https://api.spotify.com/v1/search?query=Songname&type=track&market=DE&offset=0&limit=1
  limit: 1
  next: >-

The last line with the uri: spotify:track I try to use it in a script to add this song to one of my playlists:

sequence:
  - service: spotifyplus.search_tracks
    data:
      entity_id: media_player.spotifyplus_johannes
      criteria: Songname
      limit: 1
      market: DE
    response_variable: search_result
  - service: spotifyplus.playlist_items_add
    data:
      entity_id: media_player.spotifyplus_johannes
      playlist_id: myplaylistid
      uris: "{{ search_result.result.items[0].uri }}"

When executing this script unfortunately I'll get the error:
Error rendering data template: UndefinedError: builtin_function_or_method object has no element 0

Looks like something wrong with my template variable {{ search_result.result.items[0].uri }}.
I tried so many different ways to get this template variable working but none worked yet for me.

When entering directly a specific uri (without the template, getting the uri from the previous search) the script is working fine.
So my only remaining problem is how to get thie uri from the search result into my playlis adding.

Would be pleased if someone could give me some hint, what I'm doing wrong.

I believe the problem is that “items” is being interpreted as the Jinja “items()” function rather than the property in this line of code:
search_result.result.items[0].uri

Change it to the following and it should work:
search_result.result[“items”][0].uri

Thank you so much @thlucas1.
With this modifcation it's working fine.
I would never got this sorted out by myselfe.

Now I'm able to search and add any song played on my media player to my spotify playlist.
Previously I had this solved with some ifttt script, like it's described here: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/save-currently-playing-song-to-spotify-playlist/48513.
But as this is not possible anymore with a free ifttt license It was not working any longer for me.

I'm very thankful for your great custom integration!

You might also check out the SpotifyPlus custom services.

the following adds the currently playing track to your track favorites. Note that you don’t need to specify the track if it’s currently playing on the Spotify connect player. Example:

service: spotifyplus.save_track_favorites
data:
  entity_id: media_player.spotifyplus_john_s

You can also add currently playing track to the end of a playlist. Example : just substitute your playlist I’d below:

service: spotifyplus.playlist_items_add
data:
  entity_id: media_player.spotifyplus_john_s
  playlist_id: 4yptcTKnXjCu3V92tVVafS

hope it helps!

Thanks for the addition, but with my Sonos speakers most times I'm not using the spotifyplus media player to play the music in HA.
With the search function I've now running I also have the big effort, that even when not listening to Spotify (E g. when just listening to a radio station) I also can add the current played Song to my Spotify playlist :-)

Awesome, glad it fixed your issue. Enjoy!

Closing discussion, as this seems to be fixed.
