Inspiration
From daily use of Spotify and my friends
What it does
It displays shared songs of 2 Spotify accounts on a webpage
How we built it
We used the open-source Spotipy library to handle the connection with Spotify API. We wrote python code for retrieving users' saved songs, comparing them, and storing the result. We wrote html file to display the result on a webpage.
Challenges we ran into
Understanding how the API works, binding python code with html page page code.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
It was a great experience working with public APIs. We are proud of learning and using these resources for our first time and achieving some results. It is not only about how to use API but also we learned more about database and network. Since our project is based on HTML and Python two parts, it was really nice to work between different program languages and make them work together.
What we learned
As mentioned above, we learned about how to use APIs, more knowledge of databases and networks. And also we become more skilled in the programming languages we used to write the project.
What's next for Spotify Shared Songs Displayer
Since the limit of Spotify API and private security, it is hard to have improvement on the implementation of the function. But the front end can be improved to bring a better experience for users.
