A meteor package for Spotify's web API.

meteor-spotify-web-api

A meteor wrapper for Spotify's web API via the wonderful spotify-web-api-node.

Check out an example (examples/1 folder) here: http://spotify-web-api-example.meteor.com

Installation

• meteor add xinranxiao:spotify-web-api

Usage

1. Setup your clientId + clientSecret, either via the service-configuration package or directly through the api.

// This example is via `service-configuration`
ServiceConfiguration.configurations.update(
  { "service": "spotify" },
  {
    $set: {
      "clientId": "<your clientId>",
      "secret": "<your secret>"
    }
  },
  { upsert: true }
);

2. Get an oauth access_token, either through xinranxiao:accounts-spotify, or directly through this API (refer here. ) for how).

3. Make a new instance of the API and use it! Currently only available on the server.

var spotifyApi = new SpotifyWebApi();

// credentials are optional
var spotifyApi = new SpotifyWebApi({
  clientId : 'fcecfc72172e4cd267473117a17cbd4d',
  clientSecret : 'a6338157c9bb5ac9c71924cb2940e1a7',
  redirectUri : 'http://www.example.com/callback'
});

// Get Elvis' albums `synchronously` on the server.
var response = spotifyApi.getArtistAlbums('43ZHCT0cAZBISjO8DG9PnE');
console.log(response);

// Or use a classic callback approach. 
// Note that the OPTIONS parameter is always required for this format!
spotifyApi.getArtistAlbums('43ZHCT0cAZBISjO8DG9PnE', {}, function(err, result) {
  console.log(result);
});

4. Your access_token will expire at some point.

// Just refresh the token and manually deal with the response.
// response contains the new access_token and the new expire_in
var response = spotifyApi.refreshAccessToken();

// Refresh the access token, update the current instance with the token, 
// and update the user's credentials as well.
spotifyApi.refreshAndUpdateAccessToken(); // All done here.

Currently, this package automatically sets the clientId and clientSecret if you have service-configuration configured. It also sets accessToken and refreshToken if you have a user connected with Spotify via xinranxiao:accounts-spotify (this won't work if you have your code inside a publication).
