Crabify

Decided to have a little fun with requests in Rust, so this little saved-tracks-grabber for Spotify was born. It's not really meant for great things, since I'm just experimenting with reqwest and serde_json, but it's (kinda) able to share the "Liked Songs" playlist (since as far as I know, there isn't actually a way to do that in Spotify). Terrible implementation, I know, but it does what I wanted it to do.

Prerequisites

• The Rust and Cargo toolchain
• NodeJS and npm (preferably latest versions)

Instructions:

• Register an app on https://developer.spotify.com/ and set the redirect URI to http://127.0.0.1:8888/callback
• Create 2 files outside the src folder, called id.secret and secret.secret (very inspired names)
• Get the client id and client secret from the app and place them in their respective files
• npm install
• node script.js
• Navigate to 127.0.0.1:8888/login
• Close the node.js process from the terminal. The access token for the Spotify Web API should now be in the .env file
• cargo run --release
