WWW::Spotify
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Wrapper for the Spotify Web API.
https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/
Have access to a JSON viewer to help develop and debug. The Chrome JSON viewer is
very good and provides the exact path of the item within the JSON in the lower left
of the screen as you mouse over an element.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use WWW::Spotify;
my $spotify = WWW::Spotify->new();
my $result;
$result = $spotify->album('0sNOF9WDwhWunNAHPD3Baj');
# $result is a json structure, you can operate on it directly
# or you can use the "get" method see below
$result = $spotify->albums( '41MnTivkwTO3UUJ8DrqEJJ,6JWc4iAiJ9FjyK0B59ABb4,6UXCm6bOO4gFlDQZV5yL37' );
$result = $spotify->albums_tracks( '6akEvsycLGftJxYudPjmqK',
{
limit => 0,
offset => 1
}
);
$result = $spotify->artist( '0LcJLqbBmaGUft1e9Mm8HV' );
my $artists_multiple = '0oSGxfWSnnOXhD2fKuz2Gy,3dBVyJ7JuOMt4GE9607Qin';
$result = $spotify->artists( $artists_multiple );
$result = $spotify->artist_albums( '1vCWHaC5f2uS3yhpwWbIA6' ,
{ album_type => 'single',
# country => 'US',
limit => 2,
offset => 0
} );
$result = $spotify->track( '0eGsygTp906u18L0Oimnem' );
$result = $spotify->tracks( '0eGsygTp906u18L0Oimnem,1lDWb6b6ieDQ2xT7ewTC3G' );
$result = $spotify->artist_top_tracks( '43ZHCT0cAZBISjO8DG9PnE', # artist id
'SE' # country
);
$result = $spotify->search(
'tania bowra' ,
'artist' ,
{ limit => 15 , offset => 0 }
);
$result = $spotify->user( 'glennpmcdonald' );
# public play interaction example
# NEED TO SET YOUR o_auth client_id and secret for these to work
$spotify->browse_featured_playlists( country => 'US' );
my $link = $spotify->get('playlists.items[*].href');
# $link is an arrayfef of the all the playlist urls
foreach my $for_tracks (@{$link}) {
# make sure the links look valid
next if $for_tracks !~ /spotify\/play/;
$spotify->query_full_url($for_tracks,1);
my $pl_name = $spotify->get('name');
my $tracks = $spotify->get('tracks.items[*].track.id');

=head1 METHODS
=head2 get
Returns a specific item or array of items from the JSON result of the
last action.
$result = $spotify->search(
'tania bowra' ,
'artist' ,
{ limit => 15 , offset => 0 }
);
my $image_url = $spotify->get( 'artists.items[0].images[0].url' );
JSON::Path is the underlying library that actually parses the JSON.
=head2 query_full_url( $url , [needs o_auth] )
Results from some calls (playlist for example) return full urls that can be in their entirety. This method allows you
make a call to that url and use all of the o_auth and other features provided.
$spotify->query_full_url( "https://api.spotify.com/v1/users/spotify/playlists/06U6mm6KPtPIg9D4YGNEnu" , 1 );
