Spotify Tracker PhantomBot Integration - Next Steps

Current Status

✅ Built - Complete Rust Spotify Tracker with PhantomBot HTTP server integration
✅ Code Ready - All functionality implemented and tested
✅ Authorization Code Available - User has valid Spotify auth code: AQCq1ubt9Ts2T71ovopAtyYDBun3b_JdvKKWSbgNW7Dd7fRsisCvNc1MVrL9_N1cyBA-3b9owRd_Gtrv45uwVOO9oBoM-HmLnC8dZkFL_T2uZwAhFwqRw4rA9oDXoCoQOk-JDyxQxKF3s0ILgg81Hx28KylIzmWVgMH22WGws_YTphMJAoJS1CQ6jX5vu1xhYqPHr9m5OwexRquhN4xYt4pwJ628Bw

What We Need To Complete

1. Create Spotify Developer App (5 minutes)

Go to: developer.spotify.com/dashboard

Create new app with:

• App name: "My Spotify Tracker" (or any name)
• App description: "Track current playing songs for streaming"
• Website: http://localhost (or leave blank)
• Redirect URI: http://localhost:8888/callback ⚠️ IMPORTANT - Must be exact

Get from the created app:

• Client ID (looks like: 1a2b3c4d5e6f7g8h9i0j)
• Client Secret (click "Show client secret" to reveal)

2. Setup Authentication (1 command)

cd /Users/benjaminslingo/Development/spotify-tracker
cargo run -- auth --client-id YOUR_CLIENT_ID --client-secret YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET

When prompted for authorization code, paste:

AQCq1ubt9Ts2T71ovopAtyYDBun3b_JdvKKWSbgNW7Dd7fRsisCvNc1MVrL9_N1cyBA-3b9owRd_Gtrv45uwVOO9oBoM-HmLnC8dZkFL_T2uZwAhFwqRw4rA9oDXoCoQOk-JDyxQxKF_T2uZwAhFwqRw4rA9oDXoCoQOk-JDyxQxKF3s0ILgg81Hx28KylIzmWVgMH22WGws_YTphMJAoJS1CQ6jX5vu1xhYqPHr9m5OwexRquhN4xYt4pwJ628Bw

3. Start The Server

cargo run -- server --port 8888

4. Update PhantomBot

Replace your old unreliable API:

// OLD (unreliable)
// https://pizzabot.t1nc4n.tech/sptf-cur-track?code=...

// NEW (rock-solid, local)
http://localhost:8888/phantombot

Available Endpoints Once Running

Endpoint	Purpose	Response
/current	Full JSON track info	{"playing": true, "track": "Song Name", "artist": "Artist"...}
/phantombot	Simple text for bots	🎵 Song Name - Artist (Album)
/health	Server health check	{"status": "healthy"...}

PhantomBot Integration Examples

Ready-to-use file: phantombot-example.js contains:

• !song - Current track command
• !songinfo / !np - Detailed track info with progress
• !lastsong - Last played track
• !songaction - Fun reactions based on current song

Why This Is Better Than Current Setup

Feature	Old API	New Implementation
Reliability	❌ Unreliable custom API	✅ Direct Spotify Web API
Token Management	❌ Manual code updates	✅ Automatic refresh
Uptime	❌ Depends on external service	✅ Local server, always available
Rate Limiting	❌ No protection	✅ Built-in exponential backoff
Error Handling	❌ Basic	✅ Comprehensive retry logic
Customization	❌ Fixed format	✅ Multiple endpoints & formats

Hilarious Stream Possibilities

Since both PhantomBot and Spotify Tracker run on the same machine:

• Song-triggered sound effects and alerts
• Artist-specific chat responses ("Oh no, not more Taylor Swift!")
• Mood lighting changes based on genre detection
• Automatic playlist curation based on chat reactions
• Song voting systems for viewers
• "Never play this again" blacklists with chat integration
• Live stream overlay updates with album artwork
• Dance challenge triggers for specific songs
• Chat mini-games based on song guessing

Testing Commands

After setup, test with:

# Test current track
cargo run -- current

# Test in browser
curl http://localhost:8888/phantombot
curl http://localhost:8888/current

# Test in PhantomBot
$.customAPI.get("http://localhost:8888/phantombot").content

Note: The authorization code provided should still be valid for a few more minutes/hours. If it expires, we can generate a new one using the auth URL from the Spotify app.
