A Script To Set Current Spotify Song As Slack Status

slackspotify.sh

#!/bin/bash
APIKEY="From Here https://api.slack.com/custom-integrations/legacy-tokens"
SONG=$(osascript -e 'tell application "Spotify" to name of current track as string')
URLSONG=$(echo "$SONG" | perl -MURI::Escape -ne 'chomp;print uri_escape($_),"\n"')

while true
do
curl -s -d "payload=$json" "https://slack.com/api/users.profile.set?token="$APIKEY"&profile=%7B%22status_text%22%3A%22"$URLSONG"%22%2C%22status_emoji%22%3A%22%3Amusical_note%3A%22%7D"  > /dev/null
sleep 60 
done 

For anyone looking to use this behind an enterprise slack. I created a script based off @agologan that utilizes a custom osascript from @samknight (https://github.com/samknight/slack_applescript)

#!/bin/bash
trap onexit INT

function reset() {
    echo 'Resetting status'
    osascript -e 'tell script "Slack" to clear status'
}

function onexit() {
    echo 'Exiting'
    reset
    exit
}

while true; do
    state=$(osascript -e 'tell application "Spotify" to player state')

    date
    echo "Spotify: "$state

    if [[ "$state" != "playing" ]]; then
        reset
    else
        SONG=$(osascript -e 'tell application "Spotify" to artist of current track & " - " & name of current track')
        echo $SONG

        osascript -e 'tell script "Slack" to set status "'"$SONG"'" with icon ":spotify:"'
    fi

    sleep 60
done

@fastfrwrd , you might like this.

Here's a way to have a channel that shares the now playing for any arbitrary number of users. This is really nice for medium-sized organizations, but requires you to enable a webhook. https://github.com/RasPat1/spotify-slack-integration-webhook

  # These can be passed in as args:
  #
  # #########################################
  # osascript spotify.scpt  WEBHOOK_URL USERNAME CHANNEL_NAME
  # #########################################
  #

  property webhookURL : "<WEBHOOK URL>"
  property userName : "<USERNAME>"
  property channelName : "#musical-chairs"

  # globals
  property emojiName : "musical_note"
  property possibleAppList : {"Spotify", "iTunes", "Rdio"}
  property installedAppList : {"Spotify"}
  property chosenApp : "Spotify"


  on replace_chars(this_text, search_string, replacement_string)
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the search_string
    set the item_list to every text item of this_text
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the replacement_string
    set this_text to the item_list as string
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
    return this_text
  end replace_chars


  # content
  tell application "Spotify"
    set current_track to null
    set current_artist to null
    set current_album to null

    repeat until application "Spotify" is not running
      if player state is playing then
        set track_name to name of current track
        set track_artist to artist of current track
        set track_album to album of current track

        if track_name ≠ current_track then
          set current_track to name of current track
          set current_artist to artist of current track
          set current_album to album of current track

          set message to current_track & " -  " & current_artist & " - " & userName
          set encodedMessage to my replace_chars(message, "\"", "\\\"")

          #       do shell script "curl -X POST --data-urlencode payload={\"channel\": \"#music\", \"username\": \"nowplaying\", \"attachments\": [ { \"fallback\": \"$USERNAME is now playing: " & encodedMessage & "\", \"pretext\": \"$USERNAME is now playing:\", \"text\": \"" & encodedMessage & "\", \"color\": \"#7CD197\"} ], \"icon_emoji\": \":musical_note:\"} https://hooks.slack.com/services/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"
          do shell script "curl -X POST --data-urlencode 'payload={\"channel\": \"" & channelName & "\", \"text\": \"" & encodedMessage & "\", \"icon_emoji\": \":" & emojiName & ":\"}' " & webhookURL
        end if

        delay 5
      end if
    end repeat

  end tell
end script
on run argv
  if (count of argv) > 0 then
    tell myScript
      set its webhookURL to item 1 of argv
    end tell
  end if
  if (count of argv) > 1 then
    tell myScript
      set its userName to item 2 of argv
    end tell
  end if
  if (count of argv) > 2 then
    tell myScript
      set its channelName to item 3 of argv
    end tell
  end if

  run myScript
end run```

Does anyone have an update for this now that legacy tokens are deprecated in slack? I was planning to follow @tiagocasanovapt 's readme/guide, but it seems like that will no longer work.

@crevulus this might interest you https://github.com/giorgimode/SpotMyStatus/

Thanks! Looks soooo good!

Works good, ty :)

My contribution using the new token format and hopefully very clear and readable:

# Get this token by:
# - Creating a Slack app https://api.slack.com/apps
# - Select Permissions > Scopes > User Token Scopes and add `users.profile:write`
# - Scroll up and select Install to Workspace under OAuth Tokens for Your Workspace
# - Copy User OAuth Token under OAuth Tokens for Your Workspace
TOKEN=$(cat slack.pat)

  if [ -z "$RUNNING" ];

    continue

  # See `/Applications/Spotify.app/Contents/Resources/Spotify.sdef`
  ARTIST=$(osascript -e 'tell application "Spotify" to artist of current track')
