Spotify API Experiments

This is a collection of experimentations with the Spotipy python library. All of these scripts will request an auth token for a particular user (username arg) upon startup From my experimentation so far, this will remmeber that the app was previously authorized for whatever "authorization scope" was approved by the user at the oauth screen

save_now_playing.py - This script will poll for the user's now playing track every 10s and update a text file get_user_auth.py - "Hello World" from the docs, this shows how to authorize using env show_all_playlist.py - Unlike the name suggests, I did not see all my playlists. This could be an auth scope issue however

To get started:

• Create an app on Spotify's Developer console - https://beta.developer.spotify.com
• Clone this repository
• Ensure that you have "python-pip", and "python-virtualenv" installed
• Run virtualenv venv to create a new python environment
• Edit "set_env.sh" to configure your API ID, Secret, and redirect using the information from your previously created app
• Configure your environment by running set_env.sh
• Run pip install -r requirements.txt to install the required dependencies
• Optionally git clone https://github.com/alopexc0de/spotipy.git into venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ (replacing the pip-installed spotipy)
  • If using c0de's spotipy, include a port higher than 1024 inside SPOTIPY_REDIRECT_URI. For example: "http://localhost:8000/"
• Run any of the scripts to use them
