Where do SP_DC and SP_KEY come from? #1

Closed jerodsanto closed 1 month ago

Howdy! 👋

I'm reading along, trying to figure out how this all fits together and I'm curious what all goes in .env to get it working. Specifically this bit:

spDc := viper.GetString("SP_DC")
spKey := viper.GetString("SP_KEY")

I see you are setting these as your cookie when getting an authorization code. Do you have to fetch those out of your browser from a cookie Spotify sets after signing in? If so, how long are they valid?

Hi Jerod,

You're right—those variables are pulled from browser cookies, and they happen to be session cookies. This means they don’t have a set expiration date and are cleared when the browser is closed.

The code is still in a rough state, but I’m aiming to have something more polished by mid-September. Since I self-host my podcasts and most of the data comes from Caddy logs on my server, as well as Spotify and Apple, I needed a unified view of the analytics. That’s why I’m developing an independent, open-source, terminal-based podcast analytics tool. The closest tool I’ve found that fills this gap is https://github.com/openpodcast

Very cool, looks like that openpodcast project has a similar tool in Python.

We're (changelog.com) very interested in getting our listener data out of Spotify.

That’s why I’m developing an independent, open-source, terminal-based podcast analytics tool.

Let me know when you have something public!
