Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/481

I'm trying to create a new playlist and append a set of tracks to it.
This is what I'm using now:

sp.user_playlist_create(username, "Playlist", public=False, description="Playlist")
sp.user_playlist_add_tracks(username, playlist_id, track_ids)`

My question is how would I get the playlist ID from the the newly created playlist?

sp.user_playlist_create returns the new playlist details. So you could do:

myplaylist = spotify.user_playlist_create(
    username,
    "Playlist",
    public=False,
    description="Playlist"
)
print(myplaylist["id"])
