Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Spotify	`spotify`	`app`	This component uses the Spotify app.
Playlist ID	`playlistId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Track or Episode URIs	`uris`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Position	`position`	`integer`	The position to insert the items, a zero-based index. For example, to insert the items in the first position: `0`; to insert the items in the third position: `2`. If omitted, the items will be appended to the end of the playlist. Items are added in the order they are listed in the query string or request body.

Authentication#

Spotify uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Spotify account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Spotify and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Spotify API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
