If this is your first Python project consider making a directory called PythonScripts (you can name it whatever you want). Step 2: Creating a Python environmentĪ good developer practice is to have an organized file system. You will need to save your client ID and client secret for the authentication process. I have tried using a different website and it usually creates bugs so I am speaking from experience when I say that localhost is in most cases the best option for the redirect link.
You can leave the other fields blank, scroll to the bottom and hit save.įor the redirect URL, it is highly recommended to use or the localhost port of your choosing.

It doesn’t have to be a Spotify premium account, a free account will work.
By the end, you should understand how to set up a spotipy project, the authentication process, and finishing it off, we’ll start using some of the spotipy endpoints.

It enables and supports all the features of the Spotify API but allows them to be designed and run in Python. Spotipy is a popular wrapper for the Spotify API. This makes the Spotify API a great way to get started for beginner programmers who are interested in getting involved in web APIs and even data science, or advanced programmers who want more control over their playlists. The API is both beginner-friendly and offers a wide range of endpoints. Spotify is a wonderful music streaming app with a powerful API functionality.
