Getting Started

Prerequisites

You need a Spotify Premium account for the project to work properly and request an access token. Grab the Spotify Client_ID and client secret from your dashboard. You need this to set the SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID and SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET in step 3 of Getting Started below.

Make sure you add the /auth/callback endpoint to the Redirect URIs in the Spotify dashboard. For example, assuming you're using PORT 3000, the URI you would add is http://127.0.0.1:3000/auth/callback
