Spotify API Project

Installation

Create a copy of this and clone/download to your local computer. Then, navigate there from the command-line.

cd ~/Desktop/spotify-api-project/

Use Anaconda to create and activate a new virtual environment, perhaps called "spotify-env":

conda create -n spotify-env python=3.8
conda activate spotify-env

Then, within an active virtual environment, install package dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Configuration

Sign up for a Spotify developer's account and create a new app. Locate the Client ID and Client Secret for your app (i.e. SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID and SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET). Also, sign up for a SendGrid account, configure your account's email address (i.e. SENDER_ADDRESS), and obtain an API key (i.e. SENDGRID_API_KEY). Create a new file called .env and paste the following values inside, using your own credentials:

SENDER_ADDRESS="_______________"

SENDGRID_API_KEY="_______________"

SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID = '_______________'

SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET = '_______________'

Usage

Get an email report that contains information about the artist, recommendations, and characteristics of their discography:

python -m app.spotify_service

Testing

Run tests by using pytest.
