spotify-cli

A command-line interface (CLI) tool for interacting with the Spotify Web API. Use it to search Spotify from your terminal.

Getting Started

1. Get Spotify API Credentials

To use this tool, you need a Spotify Developer account:

1. Go to the Spotify Developer Dashboard.
2. Log in and create a new application.
3. Copy your Client ID and Client Secret.

2. Create config.json

The program will look for your config.json in several common locations. You can place it in any of the following paths:

• $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/spotify-cli/config.json
• $HOME/.config/spotify-cli/config.json
• ./config.json (current directory)

Create the file with the following structure:

{
  "api": {
    "clientId": "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
    "clientSecret": "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET"
  }
}

Replace YOUR_CLIENT_ID and YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET with your actual credentials.

3. Build and Run

Make sure you have Go installed (1.24+ recommended):

go build -o spotify-cli
./spotify-cli

or

go run .
