Spotify Info

Gets metadata from spotify using a spicetify extension using websockets

I made this mainly for my audio visualizer to have song info display along with it since Windows doesn't offer anyway to do this, on Linux I could use MPRIS, for macOS no idea I don't use it

This will work for all desktop platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS)

API Usage

Examples can be found in the examples directory

```rust use spotify_info::{SpotifyEvent, TrackListener};

[tokio::main]

async fn main() { // Create listener let listener = TrackListener::bind_default().await.unwrap();

// Listen for incoming connections, if spotify closes, the loop keeps listening while let Ok(mut connection) = listener.get_connection().await { while let Some(Ok(event)) = connection.next().await { match event { // Gets called when user changed track SpotifyEvent::TrackChanged(info) => println!("Changed track to {}", info.title), // Gets called when user changes state (if song is playing, paused or stopped) SpotifyEvent::StateChanged(state) => println!("Changed state to {}", state), // Gets called on a set interval, wont get called if player is paused or stopped, // Value is a percentage of the position between 0 and 1 SpotifyEvent::ProgressChanged(time) => println!("Changed progress to {}", time) } } } } ```

Use API

Add this to your Cargo.toml dependencies

toml spotify_info = "0.5"

Plans

• [ ] Improve Documentation
