spy.fm, the Spotify playlist tracker bot

Prerequisites

• Node.js
• npm
• Git

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/RiptideAtlantic/spy.fm
   cd spy.fm

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Create a Discord bot and Spotify app

• Creating a Spotify app
  • Go to https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard
  • Hit "Create app"
  • Add a name and description (this doesn't matter)
  • Click "save"
  • Copy your client ID and client secret.
• Creating a Discord bot
  • Go to https://discord.com/developers/applications
  • Click the "New Application" button in the top right corner.
  • Give your application a name and click "Create".
  • In the left sidebar, select the "Bot" tab.
  • Click the "Add Bot" button and confirm by clicking "Yes, do it!".
  • Under the "Bot" section, you will find the "Token" section. Click "Copy" to copy your bot token. Follow the instructions in the next section to add it to your .env file so the bot can run your code.
  • Under "Privileged Gateway Intents" turn on "MESSAGE CONTENT INTENT"
  • Navigate to the "OAuth2" tab in the left sidebar.
  • Under "Scopes," select "bot."
  • Under "Bot Permissions," select "Send Messages", "Embed Links", and "Use Slash Commands"
  • Select "Integration Type" as "Guild Install"
  • Copy the generated URL from the "Scopes" section
  • Paste it into your browser.
  • Select the server you want to add the bot to.

5. Configure .env variables:

   • Create a .env file in the root directory of the project. This is where you store your tokens when self-hosting.
   • Add the following .env variables (the ones you copied earlier):

     DISCORD_TOKEN=<your-discord-bot-token>
     SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID=<your-spotify-client-id>
     SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET=<your-spotify-client-secret>
     

6. Deploy commands (only needed once, so we can register / commands with Discord):

   node deploy-commands.js

7. Run the bot!:

   node bot.js

Commands

• /track <spotify_user_id>: Track a Spotify user.
• /tracked: List tracked Spotify users.
• /help: Show help information.

Official Host

I have an official host of the bot here: https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=1288989749092159520&permissions=2147502080&integration_type=0&scope=bot

This project is unfinished and still requires polishing.
