Getting a playlist's id/href

[Aurélien Malisart]

Hello,

I can't figure out how to get a playlist's href.

I am successfully able to create a playlist with container.add and I get a Hallo::Playlist instance. I then upload it, and I can see it on Spotify. But how can I get from this instance the href/url/id to store it on our side ? I can't find the method to use :-p

Thanks in advance,

Aurels

All objects that can be linked to have a #to_link method:

http://rdoc.info/github/Burgestrand/Hallon/Hallon/Playlist#to_link-instance_method

#to_link will return a Link object, which is the same as a Link in libspotify as well:

http://rdoc.info/github/Burgestrand/Hallon/Hallon/Link

Links have two interesting methods for you, #to_uri and #to_url:

http://rdoc.info/github/Burgestrand/Hallon/Hallon/Link#to_url-instance_method

http://rdoc.info/github/Burgestrand/Hallon/Hallon/Link#to_uri-instance_method

The URI is the Spotify URI, e.g. spotify:user:something:playlist, and URL is the

HTTP URL, e.g. http://open.spotify.com/…

It all maps pretty much 1-1 to the libspotify API, so if in doubt you can always

check https://developer.spotify.com/technologies/libspotify/docs/12.1.45/ and

see what objects have which methods.

Hi Kim,

Thank you, that was exactly what I was looking for (the URI).  So `playlist.to_link.to_uri` does the job.

Cheers,

Aurélien

Sweet! For the URI, you should also be able to do just "playlist.to_str" — I believe I’ve made it

so that all objects that are linkable have their to_str method return their URI (since every object

can be represented as a string).
