I am not sure how legal this is, since Spotify exposes the API only for premium customers. But have a look at this project that is written in Rust and uses the aforementioned API to stream

I don't even think any apps that use the API are allowed to use "Spot" in their name.

It cannot begin with “Spot” or be similar to “Spotify” in sound or spelling.

I've seen some some other projects that scrape Spotify instead to get their curated playlists, then use Piped & Invidious instances to identify and stream the track file from YouTube
