spotify-top-tracks

Get Spotify's top songs by country from https://SpotifyCharts.com. This module requests dozens of CSVs, bundles them together, and converts them to JSON so they're easier to work with.

Installation

Install with NPM npm install spotify-top-tracks or Yarn yarn add spotify-top-tracks

Usage

spotifyTopTracks({}).then(chartData => {
    fs.writeFileSync(`${__dirname}/output/spotify-top-tracks.json`, JSON.stringify(chartData))
});

The shape of the data will look something like the following:

{
    countryName: [
        {
            position: 1,
            trackName: 'Human Music',
            artist: 'Earth Radio',
            streams: 1580,
            url: 'https://open.spotify.com/track/some-long-string'
        },
        {...}
    ]
}

Options

The main argument you'll be concerned with in general use is locales. If left blank, the module will by default get top track statistics from every available country. Alternatively you can pass in only the locales (countries) you want. A full listing of all available locales can be found in default-locales.js. You'll need to include the id of the locale you want data for. Optionally you can define whether you want daily or weekly data, but be aware that some smaller locales do not have daily data.

const onlyGlobalAndNicaragua = [
    {
        id: "global",
        daily: false
    },
    {
        id: "ni"
    }
];

spotifyTopTracks({
    // extended explanation above
    locales: onlyGlobalAndNicaragua,
    // only return the top 5 tracks
    limit: 5,
    // Override limit on a per locale basis
    overrideLimit: {
        global: -1
    },
    // A function that returns a URL to download the daily top tracks from a certain country
    dailyUrl: (id) => `https://spotifycharts.com/regional/${id}/daily/latest/download`, 
    // A function that returns a URL to download the weekly top tracks from a certain country
    weeklyUrl: (id) => `https://spotifycharts.com/regional/${id}/weekly/latest/download`, 
    // A request library; Convenient to swap out for mocked requests in testing
    request: requestPromise
})
