node-spotify-web
Node.js implementation of the Spotify Web protocol
This module implements the "Spotify Web" WebSocket protocol that is used on
Spotify's Web UI.
This module is heavily inspired by the original open-source Python implementation:
Hexxeh/spotify-websocket-api.
Installation
$ npm install spotify-web
Example
Here's an example of logging in to the Spotify server and creating a session. Then
requesting the metadata for a given track URI, and playing the track audio file
through the speakers:
var lame = require('lame');
var Speaker = require('speaker');
var Spotify = require('spotify-web');
var uri = process.argv[2], 'spotify:track:6tdp8sdXrXlPV6AZZN2PE8';
// Spotify credentials...
var username = process.env.USERNAME;
var password = process.env.PASSWORD;
Spotify.login(username, password, function (err, spotify) {
if (err) throw err;
// first get a "Track" instance from the track URI
spotify.get(uri, function (err, track) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('Playing: %s - %s', track.artist[0].name, track.name);
// play() returns a readable stream of MP3 audio data
track.play()
.pipe(new lame.Decoder())
.pipe(new Speaker())
.on('finish', function () {
spotify.disconnect();
});
});
});
