spotibot

Displays your current track from Spotify as your game in Discord!

How to install

First you will need NodeJS installed on your PC - You can get it at nodejs.org (Version 6 is perfectly fine and recommended)

Next, you will need to copy your Discord client login token from your desktop app/browser:

• Press Ctrl+Shift+I to open the Developer Tools or go to View > Developer > Developer tools
• Click on the "Application" tab on the right side (this may be hidden, just press the ">>" button and it should be in the list)
• On the left sidebar, click the arrow to the left of "Local storage" and then click the entry with discordapp.com
• Double-click the data to the left of the "token" field and copy (Ctrl+C) it to your clipboard. DO NOT SHARE THIS TOKEN!
• Pase the token in config.json in the token field. Make sure to remove any extra double quotation marks that appear.
• Run install.bat on Windows, or on Linux/Mac open a terminal in the spotibot directory and run npm install
• Once that process completes, make sure Spotify is open and a song is playing, and run run.bat on Windows or node bot.js on Linux/Mac!

To close out of the bot while it's running, just press Ctrl+C in the Terminal/Command Prompt window!

Configuration

spotibot's configuration file (config.json) has a few different settings you can change to personalize the bot.

prefix - The prefix needed to run commands in the client. This can be any single character. (Avoid using @) enabled_extensions - This list defines what extensions to use when running the bot. A few extensions come pre-packaged with spotibot, and more extensions can be added as needed.

Extending spotibot

spotibot can load extensions from the ./extensions folder. These are simple JS modules that provide additional functionality to spotibot. For example, songinfo.js allows you to send an embed to the current channel with your current track information in addition to the album art of the song.

All extensions should follow the same naming schemes and principles shown in the provided extensions, otherwise they will not be called when needed!

Known Issues

• Bot crashing when user is on a private session on Spotify.
• Bot crashing when streamer mode is on within discord.
• The bot will not show you as playing the current song on Spotify on your own discord client, however other people will see it.
