Is there any way to simulate clicking the Spotify DJ button in the macOS Spotify application from outside Spotify, for example with a keypress?
Of course, I could just bring up the Spotify window and go click it. But I regularly use Hammerspoon to automate many other tasks like window manipulation, so it'd be nice to just be able to just hit a global key binding (say, Shift+⏩) to let the DJ know to move onto the next set, without further interrupting whatever I'm working on.
Some ideas I looked into:
Spotify's AppleScript API: I don't see a way to hit that DJ button. (You can view it with the
Script Editorapp, File -> Open Dictionary, Spotify).Hammerspon's hs.spotify: awesome, but under the hood just uses AppleScript
Checking for something in the Menu bar I could click on with hs.application:selectMenuItem(), no relevant menu bar items I could find
Some other resources, like CLI tools, Node.js programs, etc, the ones I found were just wrappers for AppleScript
Right clicking the Dock icon; Next/Previous but no option for the DJ button
libspotify: sunsetted, doubt it supports the recent DJ feature
Spotify's Web Playback SDK Reference and Spotify's Web API: would require writing an app, using Oauth, etc—I'd be willing, and I was able to get playlist info about the DJ, but I didn't see anything that does what that DJ button does
One not-so-great idea might simply be to simply skip 5 tracks
Thanks.
