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
$ npm install spotify-webHere'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();
});
});
});See the example directory for some more example code.
