Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/issues/344

Is it currently possible to like the song that is being played?

I couldn't find any relevant API for it.

Don't think anyone has actively looked into it.
librespot-org/spotify-analyze is your best friend when it comes to these things..

@ashthespy Pretty much all that's there doesn't work anymore. All the communication except for metrics, audio key (and some other) are done through HTTPS.

BTW, the new API provides a feedback on whether the song is liked/disliked:

metadata {
    key: "radio.thumb"
    value: "up"
}

I once also saw the endpoint to make the choice, but I'm not seeing it now.

Hm, there are two UI elements at work here aren't there? A favourite/saved song and a liked/disliked radio song. AFAIK they're two different things. One adds to your collection, the other feeds the recommendation engine and adds to a playlist?

Though I have no idea if that playlist is likely to be a separate client action or not.

I am looking for ages to find a program/library that allows it. I wanted to build a simple button that would then just like the current playing song that I could attach to my desk.

@willstott101 I was referring to the heart one, the one that saves it to your collection and influences your recommendations too.

There should indeed be two options, but when you click the heart button, it'll return radio.thumb as true. I also wasn't able to play something that would bring up the two thumb icons.

From what I recall, v1/me/tracks/ is the end point for all the heart/like stuff.
Every track is checked against v1/me/tracks/contains?ids= which responds with a boolean.

You didn't find an endpoint to actually set radio.thumb to true, did you?

It used to be in the context info, but I can look it up again. Hopefully it is via Hermes.

I found a working endpoint for dailymixes:

hm://dailymix/v3/mixes/like/song/0z89qn3koTrXqvu4ds0xi7/7krbSH3rd8lhIZvuzTV3Bl

Where 0z89qn3koTrXqvu4ds0xi7 should be the dailymix and 7krbSH3rd8lhIZvuzTV3Bl the track.

For the like/unlike (aka thumbs up/down)

hm://feedback/v1/feedback/dislike?uri=
hm://feedback/v1/feedback/?uri=

For the liked songs, I only found some references via the webgate:

# To heart a song:
PUT https://spclient.wg.spotify.com/v1/me/tracks?ids=07HwlohZWn3ssYatDQLyPg
# To un-heart a song
`DELETE https://spclient.wg.spotify.com/v1/me/tracks?ids=07HwlohZWn3ssYatDQLyPg
# To check if a song is hearted/unhearted 
GET https://spclient.wg.spotify.com/v1/me/tracks/contains?ids=07HwlohZWn3ssYatDQLyPg&market=from_token

The webSDK makes the same calls, but to https://api.spotify.com/ instead.

These are the official endpoints the new API sends for the Release Radar playlist:

context_metadata {
      key: "dislike-endpoint"
      value: "new-jams/feedback/v1/RELEASE_RADAR/DISLIKE?uri=<track-uri>&reason=<reason>&version=26027882&context=spotify:user:spotify:playlist:37i9dQZEVXbdSfbIwIVcBT"
