Spotify playlist sync/update

This project started with SRF2spotify, later jouluradio2spotify and radiorock2spotify was added

SRF2Spotify

Swiss radio SRF has a nicely compiled weekly "rock special" programme that I have been listening to as podcast. I'd like to create a playlist and shuffle though the songs in spotify.

usage

see python srf2spotify.py -h for parameter usage

• if you don't want to install dependencies system-wide: sudo pip install virtualenv; virtualenv venv; source venv/bin/activate
• pip install --allow-all-external -r requirements.txt
• register yourself at https://developer.spotify.com/my-applications, enter "http://localhost/" for the "Redirect URIs" (it is fine if you don't have a webserver running)
• create an .env file with the following contents:

SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID='your client ID from developer.spotify.com'
SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET='your client secret from developer.spotify.com'
SPOTIPY_REDIRECT_URI='http://localhost/'
SPOTIPY_CACHE=''
SPOTIFY_USERNAME='your spotify username'

• run the script with env $(cat .env | xargs) python srf2spotify.py $SPOTIFY_USERNAME <podcast feed url> (see more options with -h)
• when first run the script will ask you to authorize the client_id for your spotifyusername by visiting a spotify URL (you will be asked if you want to allow your developer account to access your spotify account), then you will be redirected to your SPOTIPY_REDIRECT_URI with the authorization code appended, e.g. http://localhost/?code=..., copy-and-paste that URL to the terminal
• copy the contents of .cache-<spotifyusername> ({"access_token": ...}) into SPOTIPY_CACHE='{"access_token": ...}' in .env
• I like to run my stuff locally with heroku local:run sh cron.sh
• To try stuff faster run heroku run sh cron.sh (you need to have set up heroku with all the configuration values from .env separately)

result

• see cron.sh for examples
• the examples are run daily on a heroku free instance
