Using Open Graph API, can I see when users Add To Playlist or Star tracks in Spotify?

Solved facebook-graph-api spotify facebook-opengraph

How would I access when a user (and a friend of a user) adds a song to a playlist, or stars a song in Spotify, Rdio etc?

You have to get the user_actions.music permission before you can read those.

Does this actually work yet? adding those permissions to "scope" returns an error, and adding to "perms" as the referenced example does doesn't seem to do anything (no new auth dialog and music.listens returns empty collection). Is there some other necessary piece? – Trashy 27/9, 2011 at 12:37

This is not live to users yet, only developers until Timeline launches. – Mulderig 27/9, 2011 at 18:55

Thanks....but what does that mean exactly? I'm a developer, use the developer app (and so see timeline), but can't get this to work. Is it being specifically enabled/whitelisted for certain apps? I'm happy to wait it out and assume that it will start working at some point, but if there's something I could do now - or if I'm doing something wrong - I'd love to know. – Trashy 27/9, 2011 at 22:35

I would also like to see additional documentation about this. – Kerr 18/10, 2011 at 21:46

As asked in the original question- how do you get listens for friends and friends of friends (FQL?)? – Selfcentered 14/12, 2011 at 4:16

The correct permissions is user_actions:music, not a dot.

user_actions:music
user_actions:video
user_actions:news

http://graph.facebook.com/me/music.listens

http://graph.facebook.com/me/music.playlists

Those 2 endpoints still returns empty arrays.

The colon indicates 'global' and the '.' is a delimeter between app namespace and action type (i.e music:listens refers to global listens of music (i.e Spotify, Deezer, Rdio,etc) - music.listens refers to 'listens' actions registered to 'apps.facebook.com/music' – Storey 5/11, 2011 at 8:55

@Storey it is actually the inverse. developers.facebook.com/docs/beta/authentication/read – Mulderig 7/11, 2011 at 1:16

facepalm thanks; not sure how i got it not only wrong, but COMPLETELY wrong – Storey 7/11, 2011 at 8:47
