Spotify Looping Bot

API-Less Python3 Spotify bot which reproduces an Artist's songs list or album for the minimum amount of time in order to be considered as 'listened' by Spotify. This will be running on your machine using your browser and a command prompt which will be executing this project.

Prerequisites

This project was built with Python3, get the latest version from here. In order to run succesfully this project you'll need to install Selenium python language bindings for its Webdriver. Also, you must have an account registered in Spotify. Without these requirements the project won't run.

To install the Python language bindings for Selenium WebDriver, we will use pip. You must run this on the command prompt to install it

pip install selenium

right after it is installed, you must download your favorite browser web driver. Here I leave a list for Chrome and Firefox web drivers, keep in mind you must download one that works with the current version of your browser.

• Chrome WebDrivers.
• Firefox WebDrivers (right from Mozilla's repository).

Configuration File

You must create a configuration file, for this project I created a file named botconfig.py, in here you must declare the constants that the project is going to need to be able to play our desired Artist's content.

Here is an example of the contents of botconfig.py :

LOGINURL = 'https://accounts.spotify.com/es/login/' #URL where we are going to log in.
DRIVERURL = './Resources/chromedriver' # Path for the webdriver of your choice.
ARTISTURL = 'https://open.spotify.com/artist/36QJpDe2go2KgaRleHCDTp'  # Artist URL.
USERNAME = "your@spotify_email.com" # Email registered in Spotify.
PASSWORD = "spotifypassword" # Password of the registered email.

Executing the project

Now, we arrived to the fun part. Before executing this project I strongly recommend to use a VPN to avoid the posibility of your account being flagged and your ip being banned from the this unfortunate event. It's pure speculation since I don't really know how do they manage this kind of behavior.

Anyway, to execute this project simply run spotify.bot on the command prompt. Here is the line you must run :

python3 spotifybot.py

You must leave the mouse pointer on the web browser launched by the bot, don't alt+tab or switch windows right after you execute the bot. Wait until you start listening your artist's content, then you can switch or minimize the window.
