In the past I've repeatedly been asked whether it was possible to get
access to the Spotify's Mixtapes and other editorial content from the
start page. Unfortunately these items are not available through
Spotify's official API. But they're available from
https://open.spotify.com. Which made me wonder whether that could be
leveraged...

Short answer: sure.

Longer answer: those items on Spotify's web site use some API of theirs,
which serves nice, structured data. I can easily get it from Spotty and
present a Home menu item with "Your Top Podcasts", "Your Favourite
Albums and Songs", Mixtapes etc. Unfortunately it uses some other kind
of token than what we can get for the official API. In order to get such
a token you'd have to poke in your browser to extract a cookie... would
you be willing and able to do so to get access to those additional menus
from within Spotty/LMS?
