Spotify Control API

A middleware API for the Spotify API with automatic token refresh.
Developed for Spotify Control but can probably be used for other apps.

Setup

• Install Node.js
• Run npm install
• With your Spotify account, log in to the Spotify Developer Dashboard
• Create a new app
• After creation, add a Redirect URI under Edit settings. This must match the URI for the frontend.
• Set redirect_uri in index.js to your frontend URI.
• Create a copy of spotify_ids_template.js and name it spotify_id.js
• Copy the Client ID and Client Secret from the Spotify app to the file.

Run

Run the API with

node index.js

If you want hot reload, use nodemon

npm install -g nodemon
npm start
