API Examples

// Search and Play
const results = await spotify.search("Bohemian Rhapsody", ["track"]);
await spotify.play({ uris: [results.tracks.items[0].uri] });

// Create Smart Playlist
const recs = await spotify.getRecommendations({
  seed_genres: ["chill"],
  target_energy: 0.4,
  limit: 30
});
const playlist = await spotify.createPlaylist("Chill Vibes", {
  description: "AI-curated relaxation",
  public: false
});
await spotify.addTracksToPlaylist(playlist.id, recs.tracks.map(t => t.uri));

Best Practices

  • Rate Limits: Respect Spotify API limits
  • Caching: Cache frequently accessed data
  • User Consent: Request appropriate scopes
  • Fallbacks: Handle unavailable tracks gracefully
