Not only is this course a quick hands-on guide, it’s also a thorough run-down on how to use the API’s methods for various ends. You’ll learn about the Spotify API’s multiple endpoints and how to call them to get the data you want. After that, you’ll look at a Django application with some of the discussed API endpoints integrated into it. By the time you’re done, you’ll know how to use the Spotify API and how it can be integrated with other applications. Lastly, there will be some recommendations and resources for you to explore the Spotify API further.

Integrate the Spotify API in Python

URL = "https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token?grant_type=client_credentials"
encoded = base64.b64encode('{{CLIENT_ID}}:{{CLIENT_SECRET}}')
headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
    'Authorization': 'Basic '+encoded
}

response = requests.request("POST", URL, headers=headers).json()

print(json.dumps(response, indent=4))

URL = "https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token?grant_type=refresh_token&refresh_token={{REFRESH_TOKEN}}"
encoded = base64.b64encode('{{CLIENT_ID}}:{{CLIENT_SECRET}}')
headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
    'Authorization': 'Basic '+encoded
}

response = requests.request("POST", URL, headers=headers).json()

print(json.dumps(response, indent=4))
