Group Session code information

andrew-t97 — Fri, 28 Aug 2020 18:14:07 GMT

I'm currently looking into doing some development involving the new group session feature added to mobile devices. Is this feature exposed on the web API in anyway which would allow information such as the session code/link to be retrieved?

Thanks,

Andrew

Hello Andrew,

Did you find a way?

I doub't. The API specifically avoid touching the QUEUE (that would probably be fundamental for that Group thing).
I don't understand why it isn't possible to just search for users from inside the ecosystem with search profiles but instad force to share the link/sms.

I'm not even sure what Following a profile does actually.

Looks like I need to use librespot for that

I have tested "librespot-java" and I've found that changing the device "type" to "speaker" made it visible for other accounts connected to the same network. Maybe we can do the same with Spotify API and change the "type" to "speaker"?
