StreamTracksToSpotifyPlaylist

StreamTracksToSpotifyPlaylist is an example of an interaction with the AudD API.

What it does

It's a tool for streams that adds new songs to a Spotify playlist once they appear on a stream.

It works with YouTube streams and Spotify broadcasts, as well as with online radio stations. HLS, DASH, RTMP, M3U, other formats are also supported.

How does it work

It utilizes the AudD® Music Recognition API: adds the stream to the music recognition service and listens for callbacks with results.

See the Music Recognition API docs for streams for more info.

It also uses the Spotify API for adding new tracks to the playlist.

How to use it

You'll need a server with a static IP address.

1. Obtain a token from the Music Recognition API Dashboard.
2. Subscribe to or the music recognition for streams or contact us, so we add a stream for free.
3. Create an App on the Spotify for Developers Dashboard and get the credentials: Client ID and Client Secret.
4. Run the binary and follow the instructions

$ ./callbacksToSpotify
Create an app on https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/applications, and specify the client ID and client secret in the flags or 
SPOTIFY_ID and SPOTIFY_SECRET env vars
Run with -h to see all the flags
Please set the server's public address and the AudD API token
Run with -h to see all the flags

$ ./callbacksToSpotify -h
Usage of ./callbacksToSpotify:
  -address string

  -client_secret string

  -playlist_id string

  -port string
        the port to listen on (default "3022")

  -stream_url string
        If you haven't added the stream to AudD already using the addStream API method, you can specify the stream URL here

How to build it

A prebuilt binary for internal use is located at https://audd.tech/bin/callbacksToSpotify. Please do not use it (and never run stuff from the internet from root!), it's easy build the binary on your own instead:

• Install Golang if you haven't already

wget https://golang.org/dl/go1.15.6.linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.15.6.linux-amd64.tar.gz
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
# Please also add the previous line to $HOME/.profile or /etc/profile
# Verify the installation:
go version

• Make a new directory and download main.go

mkdir callbacksToSpotify && cd callbacksToSpotify
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AudDMusic/audd-go/master/examples/StreamTracksToSpotifyPlaylist/main.go

• Install the dependencies:

go get -d ./...

• Build the binary:

go build
