Spotify History Saver

This service is used to save your Spotify history every 45 minutes. The fetched songs are saved in a MySQL database. It uses OAuth to log into Spotify.

Setup

You will need gvm (go version manager)

1. Create a Spotify application at: https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/applications
2. Run bin/activate and build with go build
3. Create .env file out of .env.example and add client credentials
   • Don't forget to create database and load schema with ./SpotifyPlaybackSaver -create_db and ./SpotifyPlaybackSaver -migrate
   • Also add db credentials to .env file
4. Generate OAuth token with ./SpotifyPlaybackSaver -login
   • That will generate a token.json file with credentials
5. Start ./SpotifyPlaybackSaver and enjoy!
