This is a Go CLI tool that uses a wrapper to make calls to the Spotify Web API to fetch your favorite artists and tracks. Your favorites from 3 time ranges (4 weeks, 6 months, and several years) will be displayed.
To allow Flavor Favs access to your personal Spotify data, you'll need to obtain a client ID and secret key for the application to use.
- Log in to Spotify Developer Dashboard
- Click on Create an App
- Register your app
- Enter an App Name
- Enter an App Description
- Click Create
- After redirect, click on your app and take note of your client ID and secret key. DO NOT share these with anyone!
- Click on Edit Settings and enter a redirect URI. If you don't have one, just default to http://localhost:8080/callback. This URI enables Spotify to invoke the Flavor Favs application after successful authentication.
- Set your environment variables. In your terminal, you can run:
$ export SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID=<YOUR CLIENT ID>
$ export SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET=<YOUR SECRET KEY>
$ export SPOTIFY_REDIRECT_URI=<YOUR REDIRECT URI>
Install Golang: https://go.dev/doc/install
Clone the repo
$ git clone <REPO>
Test the application
$ go run main.go
Build the executable binary
$ go build
Before you can run the executable binary, make sure it has execute privileges
$ chmod 744 flavor-favs
Run the app in the directory of the flavor-favs binary. If you're using a Mac,
you may get a "Developer cannot be verified" warning, in which case you'll need
to go to your System Preferences to allow permissions for the program to run.
See the available command line options:
$ ./flavor-favs -h
