SimpleSpotify
A lousy and very badly programmed Spotify API Client written in Ruby.
If you'd rather have a proper, working, supported library I do recommend RSpotify.
Installation
Seriously, don't just run gem install simplespotify, it'll ruin your day.
Usage
You've suffered enough registering an app with Spotify and setting up your redirection URIs, why would you want to...?
client = SimpleSpotify::Client.new(client_id, client_secret)
redirect_uri = 'http://your-redirect-uri'
if ARGV[0] == 'login'
login_url = SimpleSpotify::Authorization.login_uri redirect_uri, client, scope: 'playlist-modify-public user-read-private'
puts login_url
elsif ARGV[0] == 'code'
# Copy the `code` param from your browser...
code = ARGV[1].strip
auth = SimpleSpotify::Authorization.from_code code, client: client, redirect: redirect_uri
puts auth.to_h
else
# now do the same for the `access_token` and `refresh_token`
token = ARGV[0]
refresh_token = ARGV[1]
client.session = SimpleSpotify::Authorization.new access_token: token, refresh_token: refresh_token, client: client
me = client.me
puts me.to_h
endOh, joy...
API
It's all syntactic sugar, but not the right kind that makes you happy and stuff, but the distasteful one that comes with coffee in an airplane. Seriously, it's not even properly tested!
playlist = client.playlist(some_user_id, some_playlist_id)
if playlist.tracks.total >= 10
extra = (playlist.tracks.total - 10)
playlist.remove_tracks positions: (0..extra).to_a
end
playlist.add_tracks('spotify:track:1SWhZ2rIxTPv9UcexFnPSU')
# or
client.playlist_tracks_add(playlist, tracks: '1SWhZ2rIxTPv9UcexFnPSU'})
# or even
client.post "/user/#{_user_}/playlists/#{_playlist_id_}/tracks", {uris: ['spotify:track:1SWhZ2rIxTPv9UcexFnPSU']}Dealing with refreshing tokens
client.session.on_refresh do |sess|
# Then token was refreshed on the last call
cache[:spotify_session] = sess.to_h
end
# And maybe later...
credentials = cache[:spotify_session]
credentials[:client] = client
client.session = SimpleSpotify::Authorization.new(credentials)
