Usage

Find out what local radio stations that could be playing Chris Isaak's classic "Wicked Game". It will send push notifications when and if a radio station is playing it in Gainesville, Florida.

Getting started, get your Rdio (now Pandora) API keys:

RDIO_API_KEY
RDIO_API_SECRET

You get these variables from the Rdio developer site (sign in and create a new app):

http://developer.rdio.com/

Additionally, you'll need this variable for the echo nest api:

An easy way to set up your vars is to create a file called env.sh and make it look like this:

export RDIO_API_KEY=yourkey
export RDIO_API_SECRET=yoursecret
export APP_SECRET=secret

Then just type source env.sh before you run your app locally, and it will essentially build it for you. Just make sure not to commit your env.sh file.

The 151 Flag

You can see when certain parts of Chris Isaak's - Wicked Game are playing, so my favorite part is 1:51 -- so let's say I just want a push notification when the song hits 1:51 you'd run, this only works from radio stations in Gainesville, FL though -- so if you run the 151 flag expecting San Francisco, it wouldn't work. You can change this by editing the gainesville.py file.

python3 gainesville.py -151
