SPOTIFY SEARCH

Search for Track info for easier adding to your terraformed spotify playlists.

Back Story

I've been playing with managing my spotify playlists in terraform. Start out as an excersize to learn more about terraform and get better at it. Turned into something I enjoy doing. The biggest pain point was finding the track_id to add the track. So I wrote this.

Setup locally

• Login to the Spotify Developer Dashboard
• Select Create An App
• Give it a name and a description

• Click Edit Settings
  • Add a Redirect URI
    • http://localhost:27228/spotify_callback
    • You will need this for the docker auth proxy to connect to
  • Save
• Run the authorization server
  • cp config.yaml.example config.yaml
  • Fill it out with the values from the Developer Dashboard
  • Add the redirect URI as the AUTH_URL

Usage

Install it, then use the command as seen below.

• Copy the config.yaml.example to ~/.config/spotify-search/config.yaml
• Update all your values
• `go install github.com/jamesatintegratnio/spotify-search

docker container

• Build the container
  • docker build . -t spotify-search

  • `docker run -p 8080:8080 -e SPOTIFY_ID=YourSuperSecretID -e SPOTIFY_SECRET=YourSuperSecretSecret -e AUTH_URL=http://localhost:27228/spotify_callback spotify-search

This matches how I add tracks to my spotify playlists. Not all of the info is used by terraform. It only needs the track_id. But I like knowing what song is associated with the track. I used to hand jam this mess. It was pain. One of my playlists
