Filter by Release Year

This guide shows you how to filter tracks by their release year to create year-specific playlists.

Use Cases

• Create a “Best of 2024” playlist from your liked songs
• Filter out older tracks from a playlist
• Create decade-specific playlists (80s, 90s, 2000s)

Pipeline Configuration

Web App

1. Create a new pipeline
2. Add a source task (e.g., Get Saved Tracks or Get Playlist Tracks)
3. Add a Filter Tracks task
   • Set the field to “Release Date”
   • Set the condition (e.g., “after 2024-01-01” and “before 2025-01-01”)
4. Add a Save to Playlist task

CLI

best-of-2024.yaml

name: Best of 2024
tasks:
  - type: getSavedTracks
  - type: filterTracks
    field: releaseDate
    operator: after

Tips

• Combine with sorting - Sort by popularity to get your “best” tracks first
• Limit the result - Use a limit to keep playlists manageable
• Date format - Use ISO format: YYYY-MM-DD
