Set a user's private_session

[marclundgren]

Endpoint(s):

• GET /v1/me/player/private-session
• PUT /v1/me/player/private-session

Use Cases

• GET has already been requested in this issue https://github.com/spotify/web-api/issues/685
• I'd like to write a script that sets my session to "private" (PUT) and plays a "Sleeping Sounds" playlist, so that spotify does not analyze those and potentially recommend more.

eveningRitual() {
  spotify set-private-session true
  spotify play playlist {sleeping_playlist} // please, do not suggest more songs like these
}

morningRitual() {
  spotify set-private-session false
  spotify play playlist {weekly_discover_playlist} // yay new music
}

[marclundgren]

alternatively, the eveningRitual script could have the following logic

eveningRitual() {
  spotify set-private-session(true)
  spotify play playlist {sleeping_playlist} // please, do not suggest more songs like these

  // after 8 hours, turn off the private session
  for delay in 28800; do
    spotify stop
    spotify set-private-session false
  done
}

Any updates on this? I’d also really like to see this happen.
