When running a command for the first time, you will get the following messages:

2023-05-08T08:40:16.284Z        INFO    default/authtest.go:22  Testing user auth and token refresh
2023-05-08T08:40:16.284Z        DEBUG   default/auth.go:41      no refresh token, doing authorization flow
2023-05-08T08:40:16.284Z        INFO    default/auth.go:85      Please open this URL in a web browser to authorize the app to access your Spotify account       {"url": "https://accounts.spotify.com/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=d9cbe403222b4aa2ab4a6e952bb2abe0&scope=playlist-read-private%20playlist-read-collaborative%20playlist-modify-private%20playlist-modify-public&redirect_uri=http:%2F%2Flocalhost:8080%2Fauthorize&state=fce11587-ebf3-40cc-bafc-bc37f80b2c57"}
2023-05-08T08:40:16.284Z        INFO    default/auth.go:126     starting authentication server
⇨ http server started on [::]:8080

Open the link in a web browser, on a machine that has access to your service through the Redirect URI (see developer guide) and you should get a web page with a text:

Authorization successful! You may close this window now.

Then the command you entered will continue.

Note that your access/refresh tokens are written in clear in /tmp/.spotify-tools-cache.json. If you have any trouble, you can run the reset subcommand which will reset the authentication system.

Run in Docker

Using this tool in Docker is strongly advised (access and refresh tokens are written in clear on the disk). You can use this public Docker image:

docker run -p 8080:8080 barben360/spotify-tools:v1.0.0 <your-command>

Note that you can pass your Spotify client ID/secret through the command line or through the environment (recommended as it should not appear in you Docker command).

Developer guide

Requirements

• You must create an app from Spotify developer website and get the Client ID and Client secret that you will need when running the tool
• In your app, you must add the following URI in Redirect URIs: http://localhost:8080/authorize (or you can replace http://localhost:8080 by the public endpoint of where you run spotify-tools)

Run debug configurations

Copy .env.example to .env and fill values. Then, use VS Code launch configurations or get inspired by them for another IDE.

Build Docker image

For production:

export VERSION="<version>"

docker build --build-arg=SPOTIFY_TOOLS_VERSION=$VERSION -t barben360/spotify-tools:$VERSION -f ./docker/Dockerfile .

For development, you don't need the build arg and you can of course choose any tag you want.

Regenerate Spotify API client

Install OpenAPI Generator (requires npm and java).

The OpenAPI specification is copied from this project, and some modifications (with comments Fix by Barben360) are made to make it work.

To update specification:

go generate ./...
go mod tidy

This will update files of package app/spotify/default/spotifyclient.
