Getting started

Installation

Clone the repository and setup.

It is advised to create a virtual environment dedicated to Chopin.

git clone git@github.com:pstfni/chopin.git
cd chopin/
make setup

Spotify developer credentials

Create a Spotify Developer account and an app. The dummy application will let you use the service. Here is an example of a configuration for your application: 

Application Name: "app"
Website: _Not needed_
Redirect URIs: `http://localhost:8888/callback`
Bundle IDs: _Not needed_
Android Packages: _Not needed_

Once your application is setup in the Spotify Web interface, you can add your credentials in the .env file:

client_id=""
client_secret=""
scope="user-top-read,user-library-modify,playlist-modify-public,user-library-read,user-read-playback-state"

More infos about the scopes and what they do is available on the Spotify Developer documentation

Check everything works

Once you have:

  • installed the chopin project
  • created your spotify developer account and added your credentials in the .env file

You can make sure everything is installed properly by running:

make check

It should display your user names and your recent listening habits 🎧
