Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Spotify Overview#

The Spotify API on Pipedream offers a creative playground for music lovers and developers alike. With it, you can manage playlists, search for music, get recently played tracks, and manipulate playback among other features. It's a gateway to a rich dataset of music and user information, enabling the creation of personalized and dynamic music experiences.

Trigger Code#

import spotify from "../../spotify.app.mjs";
import common from "../common.mjs";

export default {

      track,
      added_at: ts,
      playlistId,

      const {
        id,
        name: summary,
      } = track;
      return {

        playlistId,
      };

      const playlistItems = await this.spotify._paginate(
        this.spotify.getPlaylistItems.bind(this),
        params,
      );

      for (const item of playlistItems) {

        }
      }
    }
    this.db.set("lastEvent", new Date());
  },
};

Trigger 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.
Polling interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	How often to poll the Spotify API for new events
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Playlist IDs	`playlistIds`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger 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:

playlist-read-collaborativeplaylist-modify-privateplaylist-modify-publicplaylist-read-privateuser-modify-playback-stateuser-read-currently-playinguser-read-playback-stateuser-read-privateuser-read-emailuser-library-modifyuser-library-readuser-follow-modifyuser-follow-readuser-read-recently-playeduser-top-readstreamingapp-remote-controlugc-image-uploaduser-read-playback-position

About Spotify#

Action#

Run Node Code on Node

Description:Write custom Node.js code and use any of the 400k+ npm packages available. Refer to the [Pipedream Node docs](https://pipedream.com/docs/code/nodejs) to learn more.

Node Overview#

Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.

This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json file or running npm install.

Below is an example of installing the axios package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:

Action Code#

import node from "../../node.app.mjs";

  props: {
    node,
  },
  type: "action",
  methods: {},
  async run({
    steps, $,
  }) {
    // Return data to use it in future steps
    return steps.trigger.event;
  },
};
