### 🎼 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`. ![Copy embed code of playlist](/.github/readme/imgs/plugin_music_playlist_apple.png) 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`. ![Copy embed code of playlist](/.github/readme/imgs/plugin_music_playlist_spotify.png) Extract the source link from the code pasted in your clipboard: ```html ``` And use this value in `plugin_music_playlist` option.
Last.fm This mode is not supported for now.
YouTube Music Extract the *playlist* URL of the playlist you want to share. To do so, Open YouTube Music and select the playlist you want to share. Extract the source link from copying it from the address bar: ``` https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=******** ``` And use this value in `plugin_music_playlist` option.
#### ℹ️ Examples workflows [➡️ Available options for this plugin](metadata.yml) ```yaml - uses: lowlighter/metrics@latest with: # ... other options plugin_music: yes plugin_music_limit: 4 # Limit to 4 entries plugin_music_playlist: https://******** # Use extracted playlist link # plugin_music_provider: (will be guessed through plugin_music_playlist) # plugin_music_mode: (will be set to "playlist" when plugin_music_playlist is provided) ``` ### 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. ![Add a redirect url](/.github/readme/imgs/plugin_music_recent_spotify_token_0.png) 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. ![Authorize application](/.github/readme/imgs/plugin_music_recent_spotify_token_1.png) Once redirected to `redirect_uri`, extract the generated authorization `code` from your url bar. ![Extract authorization code from url](/.github/readme/imgs/plugin_music_recent_spotify_token_2.png) 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 ![Open developer tools](/.github/readme/imgs/plugin_music_recent_youtube_cookie_1.png) 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”. ![Copy cookie value](/.github/readme/imgs/plugin_music_recent_youtube_cookie_2.png)
