Inspiration
Other websites such as icebergify or receiptify have a unique approach on dealing with Spotify user data that allows them to have some fun facts about their usage, listening history, etc. Combined with the fact that Spotify is well known for its Spotify Wrapped, we wanted to do our own, smaller scale take on it.
What it does
Currently, the Spotify Development App is able to access and display your top artists, top tracks, currently played track, and also look at more universal Spotify stats such as top tracks per country, all of which is displayed in various formats.
How we built it
We coded a python back-end and a html front-end which is currently locally hosted, in interaction with Spotify's Web API.
Challenges we ran into
We had a couple of issues learning the syntax that was new to some of us for the languages. We also dealt with issues on authorization and local hosting, as well as proper Github syncing.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
What we learned
We learned to start working with Python, HTML, and how to utilize API to our advantage, especially with Spotify's OAuth2 protocol. This also allowed us to experiment with Microsoft VS and Github for simultaneous work.
What's next for campfireify
Not very sure; Tung would like to work with the front just to see how far we can take the appearance and design of it all, since it looks very basic. Also, working with Python was new but also very confusing, and I think being able to implement more functionality and use even more of Spotify API would be good in order to add depth and complexity to our project, since it is rather basic right now.
