# spotify-api-plusplus
A C++ wrapper for the Spotify Web API.
## Building
First, install necessary dependencies, if you don't already have them.
sudo apt-get install cmake
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/smaltby/spotify-api-plusplus.git
Initialize submodules
cd spotify-api-plusplus
git submodule update --init --recursive
And finally, build using CMake
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
## Testing
Running the unit tests for spotify-api-plusplus is a bit more complex,
because you'll need a client id, client secret, and refresh token. The
first two can be gotten by registering an application with Spotify
[here](https://developer.spotify.com/my-applications/).
The refresh token requires a Spotify Premium Account. Follow
[this](https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/authorization-guide/#authorization-code-flow)
guide up to step 5 to acquire a refresh token. Use the following scope
scope=user-read-private%20user-read-email%20playlist-read-private%20playlist-read-collaborative%20playlist-modify-public%20playlist-modify-private%20user-follow-modify%20user-follow-read%20user-library-read%20user-library-modify%20user-read-private%20user-read-birthdate%20user-read-email%20user-top-read%20ugc-image-upload%20user-read-playback-state%20user-modify-playback-state%20user-read-currently-playing%20user-read-recently-played
Once acquired, the refresh token should work indefinetely for running the
test cases for this library.
Create 3 files under the root of the project, client_id.txt, client_secret.txt,
and refresh_token.txt, containing the values you acquired previously. The
test cases should be able to use them to sucessfully authenticate with Spotify
and make calls to the API.
To run the test cases, simply use
make test
after going through the steps to build the library.
