AutoWeb Spotify API play / pause

I'm trying to create a task to start playing Spotify automatically, given certain conditions.
I think to use API action of "Start/Resume a users playback" the Spotify app first needs to be open?
I seem to have mixed results with this action...sometimes it works, sometimes not.

Im also trying to get, lets say a summary of my most listened to music, e.g. top artists.
I think this is possible looking at the Spotify dev site, but I cant figure it out?

 

Yes I did and it does not work?

When I use the API action to resume playback I get an error....

I tried this @joaomgcd and it did not help.
The only work around I found was to have the tasker task open the Spotify app, wait for around 500ms then fire the autoweb action.

 

message 403: no active device ID
API (start/resume) to work needs a active device, so in my case enough spotify in notification.
Maybe you can use 'send intent' to run spotify and play specific tracks/album/artists/playlist.

 

yeah I think its possible. but this way allows you to play a specific playlist, or artist or album for example.
Im wanting to resume playback from where I left off, in most cases a suffle of my entire library

 

Ok, I guess have the solution.

Code (Text):

1. launch app
2. wait 1s or 2s (just try)
3. send intent:
   action: com.spotify.mobile.android.ui.widget.NEXT
  package: com.spotify.music
  target: broadcast receiver

I tried similar action with "PLAY" but it doesn't work
