A Script For Ubuntu To Set Current Spotify Song As Slack Status

slackspotify.md

Forked from a Mac script, tuned to work in Ubuntu.

1. Start playing a song in the Spotify Client
2. Get a token from https://api.slack.com/custom-integrations/legacy-tokens and replace the APIKEY in the script
3. chmod +x slackspotify.sh
4. ./slackspotify.sh

slackspotify.sh

#!/bin/bash
APIKEY="From Here https://api.slack.com/custom-integrations/legacy-tokens"

while true
