From c6b56a658a88c9d644453037ed72e4f8b4749422 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: darwady2 Date: Sat, 18 Jun 2022 15:20:11 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Add YT video URL to doc (#816) For a final assignment in a class, I've created a How-To video that showcases how to get setup with API credentials, Redirect URIs, and Spotify Developer Accounts, all of which are necessary prerequisites to using the Spotipy library. I wanted to do this because, in my past experience, the most frustrating thing about working with APIs and libraries is authentication. Spotipy does a nice job of wrapping some of this and making it easier on the developer, but it still takes some setup before successful use. Specifically, my video goes through the following: * Installing Spotipy * Setting up a Spotify Developer Account * Configuring the Redirect URI * Getting the Client Secret and Public Keys * Setting the envars for use with Spotipy * Running a sample piece of code from Spotipy to show that things are setup properly --- docs/index.rst | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/docs/index.rst b/docs/index.rst index f65d031..e4b1d75 100644 --- a/docs/index.rst +++ b/docs/index.rst @@ -9,7 +9,7 @@ Welcome to Spotipy! you get full access to all of the music data provided by the Spotify platform.
