spotify-web-api-wrapper-php

PHP wrapper for the Spotify web API

Work in progress.

Getting started

Let say you have an php site in this folder,

Place the Spotify.php in your vendor, and create a basic api connection header

spotify.inc.php

<?php
require_once '../vendor/Spotify.php';
// Instansiate the SpotifyAPI class
$spotifyApi = new Spotify('CLIENT_ID', 'CLIENT_SECRET', 'http://joyify.se/callback.php');
?>

Then create a login page, login.php

<?php
require_once 'spotify.inc.php';
// We choose the permission scope to ask allowance for
$scope = array(
    'user-read-email', 
    'playlist-modify', 
    'playlist-read-private', 
    'playlist-modify-private', 
    'user-read-private', 
    'user-read-email');
// Then start the authorization flow by redirecting the user to the login page
$result = $spotifyApi->startAuthorization($scope);
$spotifyApi->startAuthorization();
?>

Let say you created a callback.php in the same directory as the login.php, just create a callback.php there (assume the pages we create can be reached at http://localhost/)

<?php
// Get the access token 
$token = $spotifyApi->requestToken();
// Store the refresh token and access token in your database
$access_token = $token['access_token'];
$refresh_token = $token['refresh_token'];
// Then 'install' the token into the class instance
$spotifyApi->authorize($token['access_token']);
?>
