Enable sharing Spotify listening activity on Facebook via API?

Is it possible to enable sharing listening activity with Facebook from the Spotify API?

SPSession seems to have functions around scrobbling:

-(void)setScrobblingState:(sp_scrobbling_state)state forService:(sp_social_provider)service callback:(SPErrorableOperationCallback)block;

If not, is it possible to know if a user has enabled sharing to Facebook?

Edit: Thanks for the answer! Looks like there's an enum sp_social_provider that has a possible value SP_SOCIAL_PROVIDER_FACEBOOK for use with the following functions:

setScrobblingUserName:password:forService:callback:
setScrobblingState:forService:callback:
Solution

  • You can use SPSession's fetchScrobblingStateForService:callback: to find out if scrobbling to a particular service is enabled.

    To enable scribbling if it isn't enabled, you need to call setScrobblingUserName:password:forService:callback: to set credentials for the service, then setScrobblingState:forService:callback: to enable it.

    Set the state to SP_SCROBBLING_STATE_USE_GLOBAL_SETTING to keep the user's global preferences in your session (which is preferred).
