Spotify OmniAuth Strategy

This gem provides a simple way to authenticate to Spotify Web API using OmniAuth with OAuth2.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'omniauth-spotify'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install omniauth-spotify

Usage

You'll need to register an app on Spotify, you can do this here - https://developer.spotify.com/my-applications/#!/

Usage of the gem is very similar to other OmniAuth strategies. You'll need to add your app credentials to config/initializers/omniauth.rb:

Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :spotify, 'app_id', 'app_secret', scope: 'playlist-read-private user-read-private user-read-email'
end

Please replace the example scope provided with your own. Read more about scopes here: https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/using-scopes/

Or with Devise in config/initializers/devise.rb:

config.omniauth :spotify, 'app_id', 'app_secret', scope: 'playlist-read-private user-read-private user-read-email'

Auth Hash Schema

Here's an example auth hash, available in request.env['omniauth.auth']:

Some of this fields depend on what scopes you ask, namely

  • user-read-email affects the presence of the email field
  • user-read-private affects the value of name (if the scope is missing it will reflect username) and the presence of image
