Connecting to Spotify API
To connect Spotify-tui to Spotify's API for music playback and track searching, follow these steps:
- Visit the Spotify dashboard.
- Create a new app to obtain your Client ID and Client Secret.
- Edit app settings and add
http://localhost:8888/callbackas a Redirect URI. - Save settings and return to the terminal.
- Run "spt" and enter your Client ID and Client Secret when prompted.
- Confirm the default port (8888) or input a custom port.
- You'll be redirected to Spotify for permission.
- After approval, the redirect URL is automatically parsed.
- If the local web server fails, copy the URL from the blank page and paste it into the terminal prompt.
- You're now ready to use spotify-tui! 🎉
After you’ve run spt for the first time, you’ll find a configuration file under ~/.config/spotify-tui/client.yml
Connect with spotifyd
Make sure that spotifyd.service is running:
systemctl --user status spotifyd.service
Now, run spt in terminal and select any song
and press ENTER
If Spotify TUI indicates it can't find a device, press 'd', and the CLI will display the available Spotifyd clients. Select the appropriate one by pressing 'Enter'.
Now it should Work.
