spotify-api-server

Implementation of parts of the Spotify playlist API.

Hopefully this will allow for more services around Spotify as it makes editing playlists much easier than using libspotify.

It's a web server (listens at port 1337 by default) that talks to Spotify using libspotify. JSON is assumed as input and output.

spotify-api-server is an experiment with C, libspotify, evented I/O (libevent) and GPL.

Supported API methods

Playlists

GET /user/{username}/playlists -> {playlists:[<playlist>]}
GET /user/{username}/starred -> <playlist>

GET /playlist/{id} -> <playlist>
GET /playlist/{id}/collaborative -> {collaborative:<boolean>}
GET /playlist/{id}/subscribers -> [<string>]

POST /playlist <- {title:<string>} -> <playlist>
POST /playlist/{id}/add?index <- [<track URI>] -> <playlist>
POST /playlist/{id}/remove?index&count -> <playlist>
POST /playlist/{id}/collaborative?enabled=<boolean> -> <playlist>
POST /playlist/{id}/patch <- [<track URI>] -> <playlist>

patch replaces all tracks in a playlist with as few adds and removes as possible by first performing a diff between the playlist and the new tracks and then applying the changes.

Inboxes

POST /user/{user}/inbox <- {message:<string>, tracks:[<track URI>]}

message is optional.
