Spotify Notifier

Do you ever want to know when your followed artists release new tracks, but don't want to check Spotify all the time? This project fixes that by sending you a text using Twilio when a new song drops.

Inspiration

We were inspired by Spotify themselves. While Spotify already has this functionality, it often is hard to find and more often than not doesn't send out notifications for singles or anything other than albums. We wanted to fix this by making it obvious that your favorite artists have dropped a new track.

What it does

Sends a text message to your phone when one of your followed artists drops a new track.

How we built it

We used Spotipy and Twilio.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into some varying issues, such as Spotify Authentication, Twilio message limits, and broken API stuff.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Building something that works.

What we learned

How Spotify works, Python, APIs, and Twilio.

What's next for Spotify Notifier

Improved functionality to send notifications about upcoming music, podcasts, or suggestions every week using a different AI than Spotify to recommend content that may fit your interests better.
