I'm currently integrating the Sonos Control API into our platform.
I successfully integrated "simple" commands related to play/pause, skipToNextTrack, skipToPreviousTrack but is it possible to access associated music provider to the sonos account through the Control API ?
I don't want to integrate a "simple" remote control for Sonos speakers. I would like to use the Spotify, Deezer or whatever associated provider account to search and play a song. Is there a way to do that?
Thanks for any reply :-)
This is not currently a possibility with the Control API. We'll bring your request back to the dev team.

We currently use the Sonos Control REST API to communicate with the players. We would like to trigger the SMAPI rateItem for the currently playing item (like the Sonos APP does).
Is it possible by using only the Control API?
or is there a chance to get the SMAPI URL of the service by the serviceId used by the Control API, so that we can send the rateItem request directly to that service?
Is there also a JSON REST API available for the SMAPI or is it still only SOAP?
Thanx in advance
No
is the way to go, but you need to have figured out the auth secrets etc in order to get the url of the service, as well as the user credentials.
The devices only do SOAP APIs. JSON APIs are only used for the cloud API (and for the local, private version of that).
I have never taken my SMAPI support as far as the rating stuff. Older versions of my apps did support the Pandora Like button, but that was when Sonos used the old Pandora API, before they switched it over to SMAPI.
I am developing a web application for musicians to grow their fan base for their music.
I want that as a musician if i have a eventbrite account already.
I can directly sign in using the same EventBrite Account Credentials to create an account in my proposed web application.
I did find that Eventbrite provides an API

I just want to know will this API help to achieve what i want irrespective of my web app technology stack i am using.
Please help.
I have looked at API provided by Sonos labs. This API is dedicated to music providers.
Is there a public API to control volume of Sonos speakers ?
Yes, the cloud based APIs enable control of both the group and individual players. Check out https://developer.sonos.com/reference/control-api/group-volume/ and https://developer.sonos.com/reference/control-api/playervolume/ .
I am building an app that integrates nicely with Sonos speakers.
I would like to provide the user the ability to select the container (playlist/stations/...leafs of the tree here) of the music service provider. Say Amazon or Spotify...
I managed to understand the vast majority of the SOAP calls however, I could not figure out how to query the user's selected service (devicelink) and provide the same list that the Sonos controller show.
How do I do that?
thanks!
This is not currently supported by the Sonos APIs and many music services take steps to ensure that only Sonos controllers can browse their catalog.
Sonos decided that access to music services should no longer be allowed by third-party-apps some time ago.
I figured out how it works and made a complete walkthrough here, https://Sonos.svrooij.io/music-services.html
It makes a second connection to the specific music service, just for browsing the catalog.
get some data from the Sonos device
Request an auth code for the service
Let the user login
If the user responded, request an access token and a refresh token.
Save these tokens in your Sonos system (optional)
Use the tokens to talk to the music service
Save and use the new access token if it is expired (optional)
You can also use my sonos-ts library, which has support for music services that require authentication.
i'm building a website that uses WebRTC to share audio and video. Now i'd like to access WebRTC features on Android devices so i can create an app that can receives audio and video streams from the website.
I've looked for a technology allowing me to do that and I've found SkylinkJS.
It looks great but i'm wondering something. Can i build a custom authentication system on top of SkylinkJS logic. What i mean is that i'd like to make sure the connection to SkylinkJS rooms are initiated by users actually authenticated on my platform.
At the moment, i do that using socket.io but i can do it since i'm using raw WebRTC. How can i do that using SkylinkJS? Using the REST API?
Thanks.
PS: i cannot tag this question with 'skylinkjs' since it's a new tag, but it mights be cool if someone could do it.
Yes you can integrate that with the REST API in this Applications REST API link here - . You can generate your own credentials.
You can generate the connecting credentials from your server and then when the User logs in, generate the credentials for Users to connect to the Room. See more in their support article.
SkylinkJS uses key based authentication mechanism to authenticate against the Temasys signaling servers. This ensures that any application using Skylink can only connect to calls in your application if the app can provide the same secure keys (from your Temasys developer account).
Your best bet in looping in Android would be to use the android counterpart. http://skylink.io/android/
