Morag

A small command-line tool written in Go that let's you fetch the entire catalogue/library of artists from Spotify.

It is supercharged with the help of Cobra and implements OAuth2 for authentication.

Requirements

• Go version v1.12

Getting Started

Run Morag by issuing the following commands:

λ go build

Useful help text is also available when the command is used alone.

λ ./morag
Morag lets your download the entire catalog/library of an artist
from Spotify and saves it to a csv file. It uses OAuth2 for authentication.

Issue the login command to start fetching data from Spotify

Usage:
  morag [flags]
  morag [command]

Available Commands:
  fetch       Fetches track information for an artist.
  help        Help about any command
  login       Login connects you to your Spotify account.
  logout      Logs out a current user.

Flags:
      --config string   config file (default is $HOME/.morag.yaml)
  -h, --help            help for morag
  -t, --toggle          Help message for toggle

Use "morag [command] --help" for more information about a command.

Morag spawns a mini-server to implement the OAuth2 handshake. To fascilitate that you need to create a small non-commercial app on Spotify.

• Head over to Spotify Dashboard and create an application.
• Export the client_id and client_secret as environment variables

Then, run the following command to initiate the authentication process:

λ ./morag login

Here's a sneak peak as to how it's done.

Note: To load environment variables if you're a terminal girl/guy, you might want to use direnv. Simply, make the variables present in .env.example available.

"Quill said he stole the Power Stone from Morag."

"Is that a person?"

"No, Quill's a person. Morag's a planet."
