spotify-webplayer-token

Helper to retrieve a webplayer Spotify token that is valid for 1 year.

Inspired from https://github.com/enriquegh/spotify-webplayer-token and adapted to golang.

To obtain the cookies (valid for 1 year):

• Open a new Incognito window in Chrome (or another browser) at https://accounts.spotify.com/en/login?continue=https:%2F%2Fopen.spotify.com%2F
• Open Developer Tools in your browser (might require developer menu to be enabled in some browsers)
• In the Network tab, enable "Preserve log"
• Login to Spotify.
• In the Network tab, search/Filter for password
• Under cookies for the request save the values for sp_dc and sp_key.
• Close the window without logging out (Otherwise the cookies are made invalid).

To obtain a Spotify token:

Programmatically

1. Store sp_dc and sp_key respectively as environment variables SPOTIFY_DC and SPOTIFY_KEY,

2. Do:

   import (
       "github.com/mirrorfm/spotify-webplayer-token/app"
   )
   
   func main() {
       token, err := app.GetAccessTokenFromEnv()
       // use token.AccessToken
   }
   

From the command line

1. In the current repo, create env.json such as:

   {
       "SPOTIFY_DC": "AQAJJvY80mY--nNZ_vWVMyWrvrSse...",
       "SPOTIFY_KEY": "478fafec-ed..."
   }
   

2. Run:

   make setup && make run
