# spotify-api-token-manager
Manage your access tokens easily
## About this project
This project helps you to manage your spotify access tokens. this automates the process of refreshing tokens and updating them :3!
i love you tokio <3
## How to use this library
setup in the [spotify dashboard](https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard) your application, there are several tutorials online how to do that
what matters for us specifically are a few things
- client id
- client secret
- redirect url
please note that the redirect url should always end with `/callback`
here is a quick example usage
```rs
use spotify_token_manager::TokenManager;
use std::net::TcpListener;
use tokio::signal;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let listener = TcpListener::bind("127.0.0.1:8080").unwrap();
let client_id = "05fd6ff8a5d84f399b5491410b9b22e5";
let client_secret = "32b3b73d7ac4425bbf60484a5deab9f5";
let init = TokenManager::new(client_id.to_string(), client_secret.to_string(), listener);
init.start_server().await;
let result = init.get_token().await;
println!("result: {}", result);
signal::ctrl_c().await.expect("failed to listen for Ctrl+C"); //keep the the thread alive, if you dont keep the thread alive unexpected issues will occur.
}
```
note that the url of the listener always needs to be the same url you defined earlier in the spotify developer dashboard.
after you have done it, open the listener url in your browser along with `/login` to authorize your account
example of the url could be http://127.0.0.1:8080/login
## also important
please note that this library will create a folder in your home dir called "stm_data" which stands simply for spotify token manager data :D
so make sure that you dont already have a folder which is called like that
