EasySpotifyTS - A Spotify Web Api TS Wrapper

This is a Javascript library written in Typescript that wraps Spotify Web API to make your spotify responses and requests benefit from autocompletion. It's still not published and in development. See features list to check what else I plan to add to this library.

Installation and Usage

This library is lightweight and only have one external dependency, which is axios, a powerful HTTP requests library. Also, if you like type hints, or intellisense, with easy-spotify-ts you have them for responses that come from Spotify Web API.

NodeJS Environment

Install easy-spotify-ts, and then just import and use the library:

terminal

$ npm install easy-spotify-ts --save

app.js

const { EasySpotify, EasySpotifyConfig } = require("easy-spotify-ts");
// or with ES Modules:
import { EasySpotify, EasySpotifyConfig } from 'easy-spotify-ts';

const spotify = new EasySpotify(new EasySpotifyConfig("your-api-token"));

// Get multiple albums!
spotify.getAlbums(["382ObEPsp2rxGrnsizN5TX", "1A2GTWGtFfWp7KSQTwWOyo"], {market: "ES"}).then((albums) => {
  // do something with albums
  console.log(albums);
}).catch((error) => {
  // catch an error, like invalid token or invalid request
  console.log(error);
});

const result = await spotify.getBrowseRecommendations(
  {
    limit: 10,
    seed_tracks: ["4NHQUGzhtTLFvgF5SZesLK", "1VBflYyxBhnDc9uVib98rw"],
    target_loudness: 0.2,
    min_instrumentalness: 0.4,
    max_instrumentalness: 0.9,
  }
);
