This is a fork of the official library released by Spotify. I needed to publish my fork to npm so I include a fix in my own application because there was no offical release for a few months. Recently there has been activity upstream, and I hope to see more community contributions merged. In the meantime, I plan to maintain this library.
This is a JavaScript/TypeScript SDK for the Spotify Web API and currently does not include any of the Web Playback SDK functionality. I recommend installing @types/spotify-web-playback-sdk if you are working with the Playback SDK.
Check out the new documenation website.
Because this SDK uses fetch both in Node and the Browser, and ESM, we require the following:
- Node 18.0.0 or higher
- A modern, version infinite, browser
The package contains both an ESM and CommonJS build, so you can use it in both Node and the Browser.
npm install @fostertheweb/spotify-web-sdkTo run the tests, you need to have a Spotify account.
You will need to create a new app in the Spotify Developer portal, and add a redirect URI of http://localhost:3000.
You will need to add the following environment variables:
INTEGRATION_TESTS_SPOTIFY_CLIENT_IDINTEGRATION_TESTS_SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRETINTEGRATION_TESTS_USER_EMAILINTEGRATION_TESTS_USER_PASSWORD
The latter two credentials are used to run integration tests in the scope of a real user account. This is required to test endpoints that require a user's authorization, such as followPlaylist. You need to make sure that your user has access to whichever Spotify app your client credentials and secret are for.
You can run the tests with npm run test.
We support dotenv, so you can add these to a .env file in the root of the repository.
To run the embedded example app, you will need to add the following environment variables:
VITE_SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID=the same value as set in INTEGRATION_TESTS_SPOTIFY_CLIENT_IDVITE_REDIRECT_TARGET=http://localhost:3000
For the example app to work, this .env file needs to be in the specific example directory within the /examples folder.
