Example of how to create an automated Twitter account that tweets tracks from a Spotify playlist.

Usage

First clone this repo and run npm install.

You'll need to sign up for both Twitter and Spotify developer accounts and then paste your credentials into a local .env file following .env.example.

# app credentials

PROVIDER_SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID=
PROVIDER_SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET=
PROVIDER_SPOTIFY_REDIRECT_URI=

PROVIDER_TWITTER_CLIENT_ID=
PROVIDER_TWITTER_CLIENT_SECRET=

# user credentials

SPOTIFY_USER_ACCESS_TOKEN=
SPOTIFY_USER_REFRESH_TOKEN=

TWITTER_USER_ACCESS_TOKEN=
TWITTER_USER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=

# automation settings

# URL or ID of spotify playlist to pull tracks from
# example: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2MgkBl2rQnPdF3WZ6ciajc?si=gF7XkYJLRBWo8lxoMKmySA
SPOTIFY_PLAYLIST=

Then, just run node index.js.

This will pick a random track from the given Spotify playlist and tweet it from your account, adding a bit of text and a few random hashtags as well.

If you want to automate your account to tweet on a regular schedule, check out cron or a hosted cron solution like Simple Cron.

Here's an (example ambient playlist) if you'd like to get started.

I was inspired by lofi DJs like ChilledCow who have created large followings by curating fresh music on a regular basis across YouTube, Twitter, Spotify, etc.
