This project was written over the course of an afternoon and is not fully functional right now. I am wrorking on it occasionally, but there is a little ways to go. The authentication flow needs to be completed, at this point it requires manual intervention to copy and paste the access token into spotifyAuthentication.js as the Authorization header Bearer token. The token currently hardcoded there won't get you anything as it has been voided 😉
Why: The token is currently returned by spotify as a query string 😒 so I can't just grab it with a local server which had been my original intention. I am however working on a proxy that should handle this, and also stop me exposing the applications Client ID so publically, not that you can get far without the secret anyway 😝. But yes it needs some work.
NodeJS Terminal app that allows spotify playback control from your terminal app.
The implicit authentication will be revised as does not function outside of a browser context.
Run npm link from within the root directory of spotify-cli in your terminal and the following sim-links will be created:
sp: play
ss: pause
sb: back
sn: next
sv: volume
sl: login
These will allow you to play, pause, skip forward and back, and adjust the volume of whatever device or group of devices you are currently playing on.
sl will launch authentication, this will also automatically run if there isn't a current session open and you use another of the commands.
spotify-cli uses an authorization code flow to gain an access token for Spotify's API services. You will be taken to a browser page to log in and authorize spotify-cli on your account. Once this is done you can freely use the simlinked commands from any terminal instance on your machine 🙂
