spotify (Python Lambda)

Note: This incurs AWS charges. I am not liable for any damages or costs.

The spotify.py is console based and manual. The lambda.py is the lambda version of this. The spotify.yaml is the AWS CloudFormation template which creates:

• DynamoDB (to store the Spotify track ID, track name, and artist name)
• EventBridge Rule (to Invoke the Lambda every 5-minutes)
• Lambda (basic Python code to get refresh token and get player)
• Log Group (for Lambda to write to, 3 day retention)
• Systems Manager Parameters (Spotify Client ID, Spotify Client Secret, and Refresh Token)
• IAM Role and relevant Policies so this can function (Lambda, CloudWatch, SSM, and SNS)
• SNS Topic/Subscription for any issues (haven't had my refresh token expire yet, so who knows)

Manual Steps Required:

1. Get Spotify Refresh Token (get the URL w/ client id, get the token, get your first auth token)
2. Upload Requests Lambda Layer

Procedure for CFT Deployment (switched to AWS SAM):

1. Update the Systems Manager Parameters with the appropriate client ID, client secret, and refresh token
2. Launch the Stack in AWS CloudFormation
3. Confirm your e-mail (SNS Subscription)
4. Complete

Procedure for SAM

• Install AWS SAM
• sam build && sam deploy --guided

spotify (PowerShell)

This is a basic PowerShell to control Spotify's Player and get top track/artist report.

The functions...don't work, so keep that in mind.

Load PowerShell:

. .\spotify.ps1

1. Authorization
2. Paste in web browser
3. Get token (grab from after access_token to &token_type)
   • https://hxrsmurf.info/#access_token=MYTOKEN&token_type=Bearer&expires_in=3600
   • MYTOKEN
4. player MYTOKEN 100
   • 100 is the volume

Spotify Dashboard and PowerShell

1. Login to https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/applications
2. Create a new app or select existing app
3. Copy the Client ID
4. Select Show Client Secret
5. Copy the Client Secret
6. Update the respective variables in getRefreshToken of spotify.ps1
7. . .\spotify.ps1 to import the functions
8. $result = getRefreshToken
9. Copy the $result.refreshToken
10. Update AWS SSM Parameter with the value from step 9
