### 🎼 Music plugin
The *music* plugin lets you display :
Random tracks from a playlist
Recently listened
|
It can work in the following modes:
### Playlist mode
Select randomly a few tracks from a given playlist to share your favorites tracks with your visitors.
Select a music provider below for instructions.
Apple Music
Extract the *embed* URL of the playlist you want to share.
To do so, connect to [music.apple.com](https://music.apple.com/) and select the playlist you want to share.
From `...` menu, select `Share` and `Copy embed code`.

Extract the source link from the code pasted in your clipboard:
```html
```
And use this value in `plugin_music_playlist` option.
Spotify
Extract the *embed* URL of the playlist you want to share.
To do so, Open Spotify and select the playlist you want to share.
From `...` menu, select `Share` and `Copy embed code`.

```html
```

### Recently played & top modes
- **Recently played**: Display tracks you have played recently.
- **Top**: Display your top artists/tracks for a certain time period.
Select a music provider below for additional instructions.
Apple Music
This mode is not supported for now.
I tried to find a way with *smart playlists*, *shortcuts* and other stuff but could not figure a workaround to do it without paying the $99 fee for the developer program.
So unfortunately this isn't available for now.
Spotify
Spotify does not have *personal tokens*, so it makes the process a bit longer because you're required to follow the [authorization workflow](https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/general/guides/authorization-guide/)... Follow the instructions below for a *TL;DR* to obtain a `refresh_token`.
Sign in to the [developer dashboard](https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/) and create a new app.
Keep your `client_id` and `client_secret` and let this tab open for now.

Open the settings and add a new *Redirect url*. Normally it is used to setup callbacks for apps, but just put `https://localhost` instead (it is mandatory as per the [authorization guide](https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/general/guides/authorization-guide/), even if not used).
Forge the authorization url with your `client_id` and the encoded `redirect_uri` you whitelisted, and access it from your browser:
```
https://accounts.spotify.com/authorize?client_id=********&response_type=code&scope=user-read-recently-played%20user-top-read&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Flocalhost
```
When prompted, authorize your application.

Once redirected to `redirect_uri`, extract the generated authorization `code` from your url bar.

Go back to your developer dashboard tab, and open the web console of your browser to paste the following JavaScript code, with your own `client_id`, `client_secret`, authorization `code` and `redirect_uri`.
```js
(async () => {
console.log(await (await fetch("https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token", {
method:"POST",
headers:{"Content-Type":"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"},
body:new URLSearchParams({
grant_type:"authorization_code",
redirect_uri:"https://localhost",
client_id:"********",
client_secret:"********",
code:"********",
})
})).json())
})()
```
It should return a JSON response with the following content:
```json
{
"access_token":"********",
"expires_in": 3600,
"scope":"user-read-recently-played user-top-read",
"token_type":"Bearer",
"refresh_token":"********"
}
```
Register your `client_id`, `client_secret` and `refresh_token` in secrets to finish setup.
Last.fm
Obtain a Last.fm API key.
To do so, you can simply [create an API account](https://www.last.fm/api/account/create) or [use an existing one](https://www.last.fm/api/accounts).
Register your API key to finish setup.
YouTube Music
Extract your YouTube Music cookies.
To do so, open [YouTube Music](https://music.youtube.com) (whilst logged in) on any modern browser
Open the developer tools (Ctrl-Shift-I) and select the “Network” tab

Find an authenticated POST request. The simplest way is to filter by /browse using the search bar of the developer tools. If you don’t see the request, try scrolling down a bit or clicking on the library button in the top bar.
Click on the Name of any matching request. In the “Headers” tab, scroll to the “Cookie” and copy this by right-clicking on it and selecting “Copy value”.
