☕ BeatPrints: Get your user token from MusixMatch
Raw
README.md

☕ Welcome! This guide will help you to learn how to retrieve your user token from MusixMatch.

You might ask why?

Well, first of all, it's really hard to get an API key from MusixMatch for Developers. I've been told by a lot of people that they struggle with the login page there and never make out of it, so I found a solution for that.

📋 It is recommended to use Firefox browser for this.

Step 1: First of all, go to MusixMatch and click on the login button on the top right of the screen.
Step 2: Select "Community" as your product and sign in using your Google account.
Step 3: Go back to MusixMatch, press F12 on your keyboard, and then press Ctrl + R.

Step 4: Click on the Network tab, and you'll see www.musixmatch.com

Step 5: Click on www.musixmatch.comand go to the Cookies Section.

Step 6: Scroll down, and you'll see musixmatchUserToken. You basically right-click on the content and select Copy value.

Step 7: Go to JSON Formatter and paste the content, and then click Process.

Step 8: Copy the corresponding value of web-desktop-app-v1.0 and then paste it in your.env file.

And that's it, hope this helps a lot! If not, then please create an issue at BeatPrints/issue. I'll try my best to help you out.
