CFG 2018. Advanced Python. Music Application.

A Python app which uses Spotify API.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Next things are needed to be installed:

Python 2.7 or Python 3.6
pip or pipenv
flask and requests packages

To be able to use the Spotify Web API, you will need a Spotify user account and registered application. All the instructions can be found at

 https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/tutorial/

At the end you will have Client ID and Secret Key. You will need them to make calls from your application to the Spotify web services.

Prepare the app

To clone the sample application so that you have a local version of the code that you can run on your local machine for development and testing purposes, execute the following commands in your local command shell or terminal:

$ git clone https://github.com/CodeFirstGirls2018/ProjectTeam1.git
$ cd ProjectTeam1

Running Locally

Next link should be added to the Redirect URIs whitelist at Your Spotify Application:

http://localhost:8888/callback

To run application locally execute the following command in your local command shell or terminal:

For Python3 version

$ CLIENT_SECRET=YourSpotifySecretKey python3 my_music_app.py

For Python2 version

$ CLIENT_SECRET=YourSpotifySecretKey python2 my_music_app.py

Your app should now be running on localhost:8888.

Deploying to Heroku

Install the Heroku CLI

Create an app on Heroku, which prepares Heroku to receive your source code:

$ heroku create

Set config vars: CLIENT_SECRET and HEROKU_HOSTNAME:

$ heroku config:set CLIENT_SECRET=YourSpotifySecretKey
$ heroku config:set HEROKU_HOSTNAME=YourSpotifySecretKey

Deploying your code

$ git push heroku master

Now visit the app at the URL generated by its app name. As a handy shortcut, you can open the website as follows:

$ heroku open

Using different versions of Python

To specify the running version of Python of your app make corresponding changes in Procfile and Pipfile. For more information visit:
