wwoz_to_spotify

This cronjob manages a Spotify playlist that reflects WWOZ's most recently played songs.

Why

This was my first Clojure project and I made it in order to learn Clojure in 2018. This cronjob has been running on AWS Lambda since then with an upgrade in 2019.

How

Scrape WWOZ's Spinitron webpage and add all new tracks to a Spotify playlist.

Keeps the most recent 100 songs and removes anything older.

Deployed to AWS Lambda Function

Notes

I manually created a Spotify refresh token with playlist-modify-public scope. This refresh token essentially lasts forever and can be used to generate user-attached access tokens. There is a step-by-step guide here.

To deploy. May need to set correct Java version using export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8).

lein lambda deploy production

To Do

• Deploy cloudwatch event cron with deploy command

• Deploy env vars with deploy command

• Script to clean up bucket (delete bucket)

• Figure out what return value should be

• Create a simple github pages with a spotify web player that can play this playlist (maybe rename project just WWOZ)
