Allowing you to discover new music through featured playlists across BBC Radio & TV.The BBC Playlister Spotify application serves a number of goals: The process is:Īt the time of development Spotify didn’t use OAuth so we used the method they developed to open the playlist in the BBC Playlister Spotify application.Ĭurrently we export to the desktop and mobile applications of YouTube & Deezer - however with Spotify we developed an application on their platform. This shows the user flow from when you sign up to when you export tracks.


The main benefit of using OAuth is that we don't have to store any 3rd party authentication information, but still retain access to accounts through APIs.īelow is a diagram explaining the export process for YouTube and Deezer. This provides a good user experience across multiple devices - mobile, tablet & desktop The playlist is permanently stored in the accountģ. The user signs into their chosen service and gives their one-time-approval to allow BBC Playlister to write playlists to their account (this approval can easily be revoked). We make use the OAuth process, meaning the user authorises us to write directly into partner accounts on YouTube or Deezer (more about Spotify later). To ensure the best possible accuracy when matching tracks we make sure we get a valid track ID back from the string match against the partner API and then go on to build the playlist by the relevant means for that service. Once you’ve created your playlist we use our partner APIs to match the track based on the track title and artist’s name. The terms and conditions exist partly because we cannot guarantee external services will conform to the same editorial compliance standards as the BBC, and we require our users to acknowledge that they are aware of this and accept it before continuing. Once you've added a few tracks, then you're ready to export and listen - all you need to do is is click on 'export your playlist' in BBC Playlister, agree to the terms and conditions and select the service of your choice to start listening. There are plenty of places where you can add tracks to your playlist - your favourite BBC Radio station homepage, the tracklist of your favourite DJ's show page or from the discover tab of BBC Playlister itself. With this in mind we developed the export process allowing you to export your playlist either Spotify, YouTube & Deezer.

We recently launched a beta version of BBC Playlister (read more about that in Chris’s blog post) and I wanted to share with you a bit more about how we built the export process.ĭiscovering new music is one of the main features of BBC Playlister, however we also wanted to give you the option to listen to full length tracks through the music service of your choice. Whilst the BBC plays a rich and diverse range of music on a daily basis, making that music available to listen to online on the BBC website isn't currently possible due to rights issues. I'm Tom Kershaw, Senior Web Developer for BBC Playlister.
