Create a dynamic weather-based playlist with just a few lines of code

# Get current weather data and mood
data "spotify_weather" "current" {}

# Get time-based information
data "spotify_time" "now" {}

# Get track recommendations based on weather and time
data "spotify_tracks" "recommended" {
  genre = data.spotify_time.now.suggested_seed_genres[0]
  mood  = data.spotify_weather.current.mood
  limit = 20
}

# Create the dynamic playlist
resource "spotify_playlist" "dynamic" {
  name        = "${data.spotify_weather.current.mood} ${data.spotify_time.now.time_of_day} Mix"
  description = "Auto-generated based on weather (${data.spotify_weather.current.condition}) and time (${data.spotify_time.now.time_of_day})"
  public      = true
  tracks      = data.spotify_tracks.recommended.ids
