Content APIs

TrackQueen uses several APIs to collect its content:

• Spotify
• Musixmatch
• YouTube
• Genius
• ChatGPT (Open AI)
• ACRCloud

Brand Guidelines

For each API, it's important to follow the respective branding guidelines for how to properly display the content. Spotify, ACRCloud, ChatGPT (Open AI), Musixmatch, and YouTube have documentation on how to display their brand assets. Genius doesn't appear to currently allow the display of their logo.

The Firebase Local Emulator Suite is used to develop locally. Use this to call a microservice or test other Firebase functionality. Start the emulator(s) by running firebase emulators:start. Learn more here.

Deploy Functions

• Updating functions: firebase deploy --only functions
• Update specific function: firebase deploy --only functions:refreshToken

Secrets

TrackQueen uses Google Cloud Secret Manager to store API keys.

• Get secret value firebase functions:secrets:access KEY_NAME@latest
