# Create a Spotify playlist

Automatically create a Spotify playlist on open.spotify.com. Create a playlist on the signed-in Spotify account, with a name, an optional description, and private (the default) or public. Returns the new playlist's id, uri and link, with the name, description and visibility read back from Spotify after saving. Spotify allows several playlists with one name, so calling it twice creates two. Use delete_playlist to undo it.
