Spotify Friend Activity

This program serves a webpage that imitates Spotify's official friend activity list for the account token you supply.

It serves a web client that calls a backend proxy on your server which talks to Spotify's unofficial activity API using a privledged access token and displays it in a webpage with similar styling to Spotify.

Example:

Usage

Manual:

Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/benonymity/spotify-buddylist.git

Run

./build.sh

Then fill in your sp_dc token in sp_dc.txt

Enter the api folder and run

./server

The page is now being served on http://localhost:10000

Docker:

Pull benonymity/spotify-buddylist:latest and run it with an environment variable SP_DC containing your token. Bind port 10000 to wherever you want to serve the webpage, and if you want to persist listening history bind activity.db to a local file.

Example Docker command:

docker run -d -p 10000:10000 -v spotify/activity.db:/activity.db --name spotify-buddylist benonymity/spotify-buddylist:latest

Getting your sp_dc token

Login to the web player and Inspect Element. Open the network tab and then paste https://open.spotify.com/get_access_token?reason=transport&productType=web_player into the normal URL bar, press enter to load the tab, then open the first item in the network page:

Scroll down to cookie in the Request Headers, then hunt for sp_dc=... and copy what come after until the semicolon. This is your one-year-expiry sp_dc token.

Todo:

• Cache API results in backend to avoid DDOS
• Save history to DB
• Create UI for viewing past activity
• Allow following of new users from webpage
