SpotifySnap

"Snap" a photo of a track or album on Spotify

What it does

• Downloads an image of a track based on the id
• helped fill my 100-days-of-code repository w/ images
• generates an image like below from a given track id

Install

npm install --save brisingr

Usage

npm install # see below if errors install Puppeteer
node prompt.js
# ...
# ? Is it an album or a track? ... track
# ? What is the track link/id? 2JvzF1RMd7lE3KmFlsyZD8
# ... downloads MIDDLE CHILD by J Cole into media folder

Tools used

• enquirer - great tool for CLIs
• Puppeteer (runs Chromium) - is it overkill? yes

Problems I ran into

• If puppeteer does not install, use the following command (from issue #375):

sudo npm install --save puppeteer --unsafe-perm=true
# "--save" adds dependency to package.json
# "--unsafe-perm" -- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48869749/npm-install-puppeteer-showing-permission-denied-errors/

Future features

• allow URL input & extract id
• change image dimensions
• extract song name from request
• check for 404 statuses & send back errors (try/catch)
• progress bar
• song search
