Problem Domain Description

Our team will be looking into the media management domain.

What kind of application we are planning to make

We plan to make an app to manage and share music across different streaming platforms, for example sharing a playlist from Apple Music to Spotify. This will require the user to authenticate our app with multiple APIs for streaming services.

Link to API documentation we could use

https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/tutorials/getting-started#create-an-app https://developer.apple.com/documentation/applemusicapi/

Possible Issues

Accessing user data will require a redirect webpage during the authorization process to receive an access code. This may be beyond the scope of this project, and might require a workaround.

Java code

example of attempting to call API from code

  public static JSONObject getToken(){
  OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();

        RequestBody body = new FormBody.Builder()
                .add("grant_type", "client_credentials")
                .add("client_secret", getClientSecret())
                .add("client_id", "b273f4e8f44d44168fe8c86492e95f86")
                .build();

        Request request = new Request.Builder()
                .url("https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token")
                .addHeader("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
                .post(body)
                .build();

        try {
            Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();
            System.out.println(response.body().string());

            return new JSONObject(response.body().string());
        } catch (IOException e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        }

example output
