spotify_appkey.key generation service not available anymore
danifr opened this issue · 7 comments
Project's README says:
Also requires a spotify premium account, and the spotify_appkey.key (the binary version) file needs to be obtained from https://developer.spotify.com/my-account/keys , and needs to placed in the python scripts directory, or have the path specified with the -k parameter
According to Spotify's web, key generation and retrieval service has been deprecated:
The libspotify key generation and retrieval service has been deprecated, along with libspotify.
You may apply to get a key using our App-key Request Form for private, individual usage. Bear in mind that you should do no new development using libspotify.
Is it possible to make the current version of spotify-connect-web work with the new app-key system?
Anyhow, README should be updated to reflect these changes.
Thanks!!!
FYI, librespot works without an app key, so you could use it instead if you are unable to obtain one.
Any update on this? I'm trying to get it to work with the magic mirror module for spotify connect. :/
@danifr I only got my key a few weeks ago. You have to fill out a form and just tell them it's for personal use etc. It's unfortunate that you have to wait, but at least you can still get it. Took a few weeks but they did indeed send me a spotify_appkey.key via e-mail

Hi,
After two request, i have not respond, please, update to use this library without key file !
Try again, about month ago I wrote to them with explanation why I need it and next day I had a key.
I've managed to successfully configure with it spotify-connect on my volumio.
It really isn't possible to get this to work without an app key, but since #114 has been merged, the README is updated with the new instructions to get a key
The URL is 404 again. Why do you need to keep changing shit, Spotify?
