FAQ

How can I generate a refresh_token ?

You can use this project made by @limhenry to generate your refresh_token please be sure to check the scope user-read-currently-playing in order to authorize Notify to ask Spotify what you are currently listening to.

What value shoud I put in BOT_REFRESH_RATE ?

The value in BOT_REFRESH_RATE should at least 120 seconds to avoid triggering Instagram. You can put lower value if you like the risk but I am not reponsible for your account being restricted !
