### Customizable OAuth login with desktop notification (tidalapi)

Source: https://tidalapi.netlify.app/_sources/login.rst.txt

Uses session.login_oauth() to get a verification URI and shows it in a desktop notification via plyer. After the user opens the URI and authorizes, future.result() waits for completion, then session.check_login() verifies login. Requires an initialized session from tests.conftest.login().

```python
from plyer import notification

login, future = session.login_oauth()

notification.notify("Open the URL to log in", login.verification_uri_complete)

future.result()
print(session.check_login())
```

--------------------------------

### Get album image URL with dimension validation

Source: https://tidalapi.netlify.app/_modules/tidalapi/album

Returns a URL to an album image cover. Valid dimensions are 80, 160, 320, 640, or 1280; otherwise raises ValueError.

```python
[docs]    def image(self, dimensions: int = 320, default: str = DEFAULT_ALBUM_IMG) -> str:
        """A url to an album image cover.

        :param dimensions: The width and height that you want from the image
        :param default: An optional default image to serve if one is not available
        :return: A url to the image.

        Valid resolutions: 80x80, 160x160, 320x320, 640x640, 1280x1280
        """

        if dimensions not in [80, 160, 320, 640, 1280]:
            raise ValueError("Invalid resolution {0} x {0}".format(dimensions))
```

--------------------------------

### Remove tracks from a playlist by index and ID

Source: https://tidalapi.netlify.app/_sources/playlist.rst.txt

```python
playlist.remove_by_index(0)
playlist.remove_by_id(71823815)
print(playlist.tracks())
```

--------------------------------

### Create a playlist with session.user.create_playlist

playlist = session.user.create_playlist("Example playlist", "An example of a playlist")
print(playlist.name)
```

--------------------------------

### Configure tidalapi.Config with lossless quality

Source: https://tidalapi.netlify.app/_sources/config.rst.txt

Creates a tidalapi.Config instance with lossless track quality and low video quality, then passes it to tidalapi.Session. Historically, this configuration is done before initializing the session because some API keys did not support all qualities.

```python
import tidalapi

config = tidalapi.Config(quality=tidalapi.Quality.lossless, video_quality=tidalapi.VideoQuality.low)
session = tidalapi.Session(config)
```

--------------------------------

### Simple login with session.login_oauth_simple (tidalapi)

Source: https://tidalapi.netlify.app/_sources/login.rst.txt

Prints the login link using the provided print function (here printer writes to stderr to avoid being swallowed). Waits for login to complete, then prints session.check_login() result. Uses the default print if no fn_print is provided.

```python
# The function is print by default, but you can use anything, here we do it to avoid the print being swallowed
session.login_oauth_simple(fn_print=printer)
print(session.check_login())
```

--------------------------------

### get_audio_resolution(individual_tracks: bool = False) -> [[int, int]]

Source: https://tidalapi.netlify.app/_modules/tidalapi/album

Retrieves the audio resolution (bit rate + sample rate) for the album track(s). Assumes all tracks use the same resolution unless individual_tracks is True, which may require many additional requests.

```APIDOC
## get_audio_resolution(individual_tracks: bool = False) -> [[int, int]]

### Description
Retrieve the audio resolution (bit rate + sample rate) for the album track(s). This function assumes that all album tracks use the same audio resolution. Some albums may consist of tracks with multiple audio resolution(s). The audio resolution can therefore be fetched for individual tracks by setting the `all_tracks` argument accordingly.

WARNING: For individual tracks, many additional requests are needed. Handle with care!

### Method
GET

### Endpoint
Not applicable (SDK method)

### Parameters
#### Parameters
- **individual_tracks** (bool) - Optional - Fetch individual track resolutions. Defaults to False.

### Return Value
- **[[int, int]]** - A list of tuples containing the (bit_rate, sample_rate) for one or more tracks.
```
