Inspiration
I was inspired for this after wanting to learn more about ajax calls and spotify end of the year wrap. I also didnt have time to make a playlist for our way down to tiger hacks, but im good for the way back
What it does
It uses previous listening data and quiz answers to create a playlist. I used minimum danceability, energy, and loudness criteria to seed a playlist
How we built it
HTML, JS, SPOTIFY API and CSS. The javascript took most of the time trying to learn how to make the calls and running into authentication issues.
Challenges we ran into
We had issues with the redirect uri (make sure your local host is the same as mine or create a spotify account and set it to your local host while changing client secret and id. We also had issues get recommendations function
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I am very glad that I finally was able to make this. I have tried learning spotify api before but was never able to use it like this.
What we learned
AJAX is great for communicating with servers, though in a lot of cases isn't secure enough for a full application. Spotify api requires a lot of calls, so making a playlist every time the page refreshes isn't good for your Spotify :P
What's next for Wormhole
full stack server support , can't have all this information in the client. (good practice though) More quiz questions, better seeding for the playlist.
