Support token configuration from file system. #1085

Closed GiviMAD closed 1 year ago

GiviMAD commented 1 year ago

Hi, awesome project, just discovered it after thinking there were no replacement for libspotify.

Will be possible to support providing a Spotify token from the filesystem? I have a web application and I would like to use librespot to enable Spotify support when running on desktop through electron (when running on web I use the Spotify Web SDK). So I already have a valid spotify token on the client.

My question is, is it possible to add support in librespot to just gather a token from a file and forget about any authentication just assuming it will always have a valid token there?

Another possibility that will solve my "problem", will be supporting creating the credentials cache file programmatically with a valid refresh token and auth_type 3.

Do you think any of these alternatives can be considered? Or maybe I have a better way to do it that I'm just missing.

Thank you in advance for the help!

Not sure what you mean, how would that be different from putting the token you got externally in librespot's cache file?

I don't know whether tokens from the web client are interchangeable with tokens used to authenticate over Mercury.

Hi, thank you for the quick response. I already tried to put the auth_type to 3 , and put in the auth_data field my Spotify token in base64, also tried with the refresh token, without luck. So maybe you are right and the token is not valid, I didn't know about Mercury at all.
