I make/maintain Spotify playlists created from AskReddit threads!

Playlist	Reddit Thread

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2ozZNmLkaAWTGGd1CG9HyX	Depressed people of Reddit, what's your go-to "I want to wallow in my melancholy" song?
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3nBmmb82z1316vQMmgQWC6	What is the best TV theme song?

You may notice interesting results. This is because:

• Search strings are difficult. Comments come in many shapes and sizes so I do my best to guess what song name is being requested.
• Spotify search returns covers/remixes as the first result sometimes -- For example, query=Basket Case by Green Day returns a cover while query=Basket Case returns the original.
• Results can be duplicated (or more) if similar comments/titles are upvoted equally.

How

1. Create a secrets.json file in the root.

{
  "reddit": {
    "userAgent": "Your user agent string",
    "clientId": "Your Reddit client id",
    "clientSecret": "Your Reddit client secret",
    "username": "Your Reddit username",
    "password": "Your Reddit password"
  },
  "spotify": {
    "clientId": "Your Spotify client id",
    "clientSecret": "Your Spotify client secret",
    "redirectUri": "Your Spotify App's redirect uri"
  }
}

2. Update your config.json with your own playlist IDs and the IDs for the reddit threads you want to scan. Make sure the playlist is "public" which means it has to be "added to profile" now in Spotify.

3. Run it with yarn start and open your browser to http://localhost:3000. Log in/authorize and the bot will begin!

$ yarn start
yarn run v1.21.1
$ node --experimental-modules src/index.mjs
