omg it works!! been trying to create a login page all day using the documentation... thank you sm man, now I can use it for my school project

[@imdadcodes]

Nice, what’s the project?

[@oliverjames6109]

Fantastic video! Thank you very much. I'm trying to create a song guessing game and this has been invaluable getting the API working on my PC. Liked and subbed :)

[@brandonzamani8344]

Absolute Legend, thank you!

[@imdadcodes]

Thank you, favourite part of the video?

[@HenriqueSantAnna]

I enjoy it very much, Thank you

[@ZeeAcez]

Great tutorial, thank you!

[@imdadcodes]

Thanks, another Spotify tutorial coming soon!

[@wild_monte]

Awesome. I not only loved the video but also the accuracy of the content and it's rate of success. I'd to ask for something. To do a tutorial on how to integrate that api into flutterflow apps.

[@abdullahshahid1020]

Thankyou. Very helpful. Can we check the followers of a playlist too?

[@Wolololo_Wololo]

Hi, how to store the requested data as a variable for further process like coverting to dataframe

[@EnglishRain]

Legend ❤

[@imdadcodes]

I remember you ❤️

[@EnglishRain]

@@imdadcodes hehe thanks bro, keep up the great work. Your quality is supreme.

[@DELOwav]

you made a video some time ago on retrieving the Currently Playing Track with Spotify. However, it seems the documentation has since been updated, and I'm struggling to make any progress. I've been tirelessly attempting to develop a program that can display album art along with its name in a 500x500px square. My goal is to integrate this feature with my NZXT Kraken for displaying Spotify content. Could you either create a new video tutorial or offer assistance in solving this?

[@DELOwav]

my main problem is that I need it to be a website but I don't really know much about coding and I don't know anything about how get code onto the web. I have a google website I would like to integrate this with as well and that uses html.

[@yuuucc]

hi, thanks for sharing the video! I managed to reach the login page and grant access, but I encountered an issue when trying to retrieve the playlists data. Instead of displaying the playlists, both Safari and Brave showed an error message saying "cannot establish a secure connection to the localhost server." Do you have any suggestions for solving this problem?

[@imdadcodes]

Try "..." for the redirect URI

[@akshajbharadwaj5609]

​@@imdadcodes same issue, and when I try I get a long loading time resulting in the error: localhost took too long to respond. Any suggestions for this issue?

[@abevil]

Hey @imdadcodes - I'd like to see some content around using the spotify api to pull in users current and past podcast episodes, so other users can see what people are listening to / watching. It'd be great to connect directly with you. Let me know!

[@say.xy_]

Hi, can I use FastAPI instead of Flask?

[@imdadcodes]

I didn't see any FastAPI cache handler mentioned in the documentation. But I don't think it'd be that difficult to write your own one if you write your own one: FastAPICacheHandler(CacheHandler) and implement the methods. You can find their code on Github so you can see how the other ones have been implemented 👍

[@daytonwickerd6212]

In this Chunk of code: def home(): if not sp_Oauth.validate_token(cache_handler.get_cached_token()): auth_url = sp_Oauth.get_authorize_url() return redirect(auth_url) it is saying that "redirect" is undefined I think my code is exacly the same as your so far and I went all the way back through the tutorial. Do you have any idea what is wrong?

[@selinamakinist5298]

u need to import it: from flask import Flask, request, redirect, session, url_for
