With the help of the docu i can set my spotify volume right now in percentage.
results = sp.volume(volume)
but i did not get an result - is there also a get method for reading the current volume?
Thx Tatoosh

I don't think this is currently possible. There is no mention of anything related in official docs either.

THX @ritiek for linking. I think i can solve it by the devices command: https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/get-a-users-available-devices/

@tatoosh you can also get the current playback info: http://spotipy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#spotipy.client.Spotify.current_playback

Here's the doc reference: https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/get-information-about-the-users-current-playback/

You can look at the "device" key in the dict that's returned.
