discord-weekly's Issues

Playlist doesn't clear sometimes

Add a voting system

When a link is posted the bot should react with "thumbs up" & "thumbs down" and people vote on the songs to make some sort of top 5 songs for the week maybe. Or general showing of the communities likes and dislikes.

YouTube links

Besides from posting Spotify links, YouTube links are pretty common. Need to be able to search for the said song on Spotify and add it if it meets a threshold.

Could use the searchTracks method?

Accept foreign characters for song names

Show the total number of tracks

Get Sentry working

Integration doesn't seem to work

Getting rate limited when a large number of tracks is present

Getting rate limited a lot when fetching Spotify track data.

Two solutions here:

1 - Make use of the getSeveralTracks endpoint to minimize errors
https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/tracks/get-several-tracks/

2 - Implement retries (switch to RxJS?)

Note: If Web API returns status code 429, it means that you have sent too many requests. When this happens, check the Retry-After header, where you will see a number displayed. This is the number of seconds that you need to wait, before you try your request again.

Genre percentages should take the number of tracks for an artist into consideration

Migrate YouTube API to Google APIs

The get_video_info endpoint is proving to be unstable, so let's migrate to official YouTube API to get video titles.

Post to channel when a new playlist is made

Message should include the following:

• Short description
• Playlist link
• Breakdown of requesters (mentions, # of tracks in playlist) (requires #3)

Store playlist information to database

For logging purposes, this would be a good thing to have. Doesn't need to be a massive MySQL db, just SQLite will do.

Should store the following information:

• Playlist (id, from, to)
• Track (uri, source, name, albumId, artistIds, requesterId, playlistId)
• Artist (id, name)
• Album (id, name)
• Requester (id, name)

Duplicate tracks sometimes added

Spotify albums

What should happen when someone posts a link to an album? Should we add the whole track listing? Or should we just skip over it?
