I miss being able to just use an API with `curl`.

Remember that? Remember how nice that was?

You just typed/pasted the URL, typed/piped any other content, and then it just prompted you to type your password. Done. That's it.

Now you need to log in with a browser, find some obscure settings page with API keys and generate a key. Paternalism demands that since some people insecurely store their password for automatic reuse, no one can ever API with a password.

Fine-grained permissions for the key? Hope you got it right the first time. You don't mind having a blocking decision point sprung on you, do ya? Of course not, you're a champ. Here's some docs to comb through.

That is, if the service actually offers API keys. If it requires OAuth, then haha, did you really think you can just make a key and use it? you fool, you unwashed barbarian simpleton.

No, first you'll need to file this form to register an App, and that will give you two keys, okay, and then you're going to take those keys, and - no, stop, stop trying to use the keys, imbecile - now you're going to write a tiny little program, nothing much, just spin up a web server and open a browser and make several API calls to handle the OAuth flow.

Okay, got all that? Excellent, now just run that program with the two keys you have, switch back to the browser, approve the authorization, and now you have two more keys, ain't that just great? You can tell it's more secure because the number of keys and manual steps is bigger.

And now, finally, you can use all four keys to make that API call you wanted. For now. That second pair of keys might expire later.

Modern software development be like: I wrote 10 lines of code to call an API that calls another API, which calls yet another API that finally turns on a lightbulb. Pray that Cloudflare or AWS will not be down during this operation; otherwise, there will be no light for you.

Progress:

Okay so the authentication for spotify is hard for me to understand and requires user authentication, then making a token request that while expire in an hour. So i focused on what I did know how to do and what I had access to token wise. The Spotify developer home page has a temporary access token for demos. I took that token and made a function to make get request to the API and two functions for top tracks and top artists. Then made some functions to print them in my terminal. Here is what my end product looked like in the terminal.

The data for tracks is proving to just show a years worth of listening even though I specified long_term in my get request.

Here is my code:

I tried just doing track.artist but Spotify handles that as multiple artists so I had to handle them as such.

Next Steps: Tackling the user authentication and token requests and including it in this code.

(Also yes I know that is a concerning amount of My Chemical Romance tracks. I had my MCR phase strike up again with a passion last October and I am still balls deep in it.)

sometimes I feel like a caged tiger at work moving buttons around on silly little websites. why did I need advanced level calculus, physics and algos for this

[wtnvapi]

making this blog to document the creation (and hopefully improvement) of a welcome to night vale api since, what the hell, no one else has, it's been a few years since i ran a wtnv blog, and i need a fun project to look at that's not work. open to suggestions for features/site design <3

he literally just said on a rally (why is he even doing them still wtf) that he wants to bring the economy back to 1929 we're all so fucking screwed.... we're so fucking screwed

the social stuff can be mitigated... this can't, we're so screwed globally :|

It really is very frustrating to try to use Tumblr through the API, because:

First you have to Register An App, even though I am a user, I am trying to just automate some workflows, I am not an App Developer making a third-party integration for others.

Then you must use OAuth. Having an API where the only authentication mechanism is OAuth should be a crime. OAuth is an okay solution for letting third-party code get credentials on behalf of users with user consent. But I am not third-party code!!! I am me, the user; my code is an extension of me, it is me, alkfsdafklsdalfsalf!

Randomly things will just fail to post. You will be told the profoundly helpful status 400, code 8001, which if we go by observation alone are the only possible numbers, and mean any possible error. "Posting failed. Please try again." Incidentally, if you are ever responsible for a "Please try again" error message for something that is not a transient error but will persistently reliably fail, we need to break out the medieval corporal punishments. Flogging. Stocks. Those little cages on street posts. And responsibility goes up the chain of command - the higher the position, the longer the punishment.

This. This will be the thing that finally drives me off Tumblr. No amount of adoring Tumblr fans will keep me if I can't reliably publish posts from the comfort of my text editor.

First Steps:

So I want to learn how to get access to the spotify api and my data first in my terminal. So I want to:

Get my top albums in terminal

Get my top artists in terminal

Get my top songs in terminal

If I figure it out really quick:

Add that json data into an xbar project on my Macbook

If that is easy then I'll add more stuff for when you click on xbar

I'm at a point in a task where I have no idea how to work it out but the tech lead is my asshole manager that routinely ignores me so. Kinda fucked.
