CoSoRadio

Scrapes counter.social firehose for posts using the #CoSoMusic hashtag. For each one, ff they have a YouTube link as well, get the Title (and tags, if any) from the YouTube video and then add the song to a public Spotify playlist and share it out on CoSo.

TechStack

Language: Golang

APIs: Spotify, YouTube, counter.social

Runs: Locally (for now). Due to OAuth authentication scheme, you're forced through a web login. There's no way to do a "headless" API integration with spotify that I've found yet. More research needed into that for both Spotify, Google & CoSo APIs.

Build and Run

$ cd cmd
$ go build .
$ GOOGLE_ID=<GOOGLE ID> \
  GOOGLE_SECRET=<GOOGLE SECRET> \
  SPOTIFY_ID=<SPOTIFY ID> \
  SPOTIFY_SECRET=<SPOTIFY SECRET> \
  COSO_CLIENT_KEY=<COSO CLIENT KEY/ID> \
  COSO_CLIENT_SECRET=<COSO CLIENT SECRET> \
  CSM_MAKE_PLAYLIST=true \
  CSM_DO_TOOT=true \
  CSM_SCRAPE_COSO=true \
  ./cmd

Workflow

1. Auth to Spotify and create Spotify Client
2. Auth to Google and create Google API Service
3. Pull music from source
   • Currently just uses the CoSo timeline public API. The search API isn't returning results when searching for statuses.
   • Currently only getting the latest 40. Eventually if I can get the search API working, I can page through results since the last time/status ID and get more.
4. Given the slice of Song objects, take the YouTubeUrl, look it up with the YouTube API, and get the title and tags from the video and add them to the correct Song object.
5. Create an empty Spotify playlist
6. For each Song, search for the Title + First Tag in Spotify
7. Add the resulting songs to the playlist
8. Post the Spotify Playlist to CoSo as #CoSoRadio

Run this once a day. Eventually I'll see if I can't get it running once a day as a cloud function in GCP.
