we all been there, if not, you're doing it wrong or not doing it at all. Either way, this time around it was Spotify's API. I had this great shit cooked I took down a while back and decided to get it back up because fuck why not so i put it online and BAM! No track preview playing, audio analysis missing and a feature I've busted a vessel to implement was utterly broken. I was very proud of that one btw, it generated color palettes from user taste in an actually meaningful way, no random shit, like, I almost got bald grasping the theory behind it... But I digress...
So I cloned that stupid project and checked some shit out and BAKABANG! Spotify deprecated all the endpoints and response fields I actually needed and only they had that shit FTP.... So I've noticed they still had their Embed API running... Hmmm hehehe.... Wrote a fucking module that used it for playing my tracks, so yeah, now I have playable tracks again... Illegally,might I add, since I'm not displaying the god awful banner their embedAPI fucks you with... The audio features thou, that's a mess cuz I now need to do the fucking audio analysis on top of that fucking embed API and FUCK my heart out figuring out a way to make it snappy without an actual server cuz yes, it's a SPA... fuck
