❖ Usage

If the instructions in the Requirements section are followed properly, SpotiFetch will ask you to log in and give permissions to fetch stats the first time it's used. Login is not required after the first use.

Usage: spotifetch [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>

Commands:
  profile      Fetch general information about user profile
  top-tracks   Fetch the top tracks for a given term
  top-artists  Fetch the top artists for a given term
  help         Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)

Options:
  -c, --colorscheme <STR>  See the readme for available colorschemes [default: "catppuccin mocha"]
  -t, --term <STR>         The timeline for the top tracks/artists; short, mid, long [default: mid]
  -a, --art                Use cover art for album or artist to generate a colorscheme
  -r, --random             Use a random color as the outline
  -h, --help               Print help
  -V, --version            Print version

SpotiFetch can be used like any other fetch tool

$ spotifetch profile      # fetches profile stats
$ spotifetch top-artists  # fetches your top five artists
$ spotifetch top-tracks   # fetches your top five songs

The top artists and tracks depends on the time-frame. By default, SpotiFetch fetches your top artists in the short term, but mid term, and long term are also available using the --term/-t option.

$ spotifetch top-artists -t short # fetches top artists in the short term
$ spotifetch top-artists -t mid   # fetches top artists in the mid term
$ spotifetch top-artists -t long  # fetches top artists in the long term

SpotiFetch supports --random/-r option to print the spotify ascii art with a random colored outline instead of the usual green

$ spotifetch profile                # prints green spotify art
$ spotifetch profile --random       # prints spotify art with random color

SpotiFetch can be used with a variety of different colorschemes.

SpotiFetch uses catppuccin mocha as it's default color scheme, but a different one can be specified using the --colorscheme/c option

For example:

$ spotifetch profile                # uses catppuccin mocha
$ spotifetch profile -c nord        # uses nord

The list of all available colorschemes can be found here

SpotiFetch also supports dynamically generated colorschemes using the --art/a option

$ spotifetch profile --art      # Generates colorscheme based on the cover art of the recently played song
$ spotifetch top-artists --art  # Generates colorscheme based on the profile image of the top artist
$ spotifetch top-tracks --art   # Generates colorscheme based on the cover art of the top track 

❖ About SpotiFetch.rs

SpotiFetch.rs is the direct result of browsing too many unix subreddits and general interest in cli tools. This is a rewrite of the original spotifetch because I don't feel like maintaining old python projects.
