Pokéfy

• 

  An example of the informatin obtained from the python code being presented to the user in javascript

Inspiration

Our inspiration is that we love using spotify and looking at our data, so we thought it would be fun to present the data in a fun way to give them a Pokémon because we all love Pokémon and thought it was fun.

What it does

A program that looks at the current user's top artists to find their most listened to genre and then assigns them a Pokémon based off of that genre.

How we built it

We built it using the Spotify Web API and spotipy library to get the data from the web and to work with it and find the op genre of the current user who logged in. Then we used the Pokémon information from a Pokémon API that corresponded to the top genre into a JSON file, which was able to be used in the javascript file where we worked on the html file to make this information gathered by aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

Challenges we ran into

We did not have a lot of experience with Web APIs, so there was just a lot of learning and trial & error to be accomplished to gain an understanding of what we were trying to do. Due to us seeing this for the first time, we probably did not choose the best approaches to work with Web APIs making it then present us challenges in trying to work with our code.

What we learned

We learned a lot about working with Web APIs, in particular the Spotify Web API and using the spotipy library for python, as none of us in our group had worked with APIs before, so there was a lot of learning to be done in order to get that data and work with it.
