Spotify API OAuth - Automate Getting User Playlists (Complete Tutorial)

In this tutorial, you will build a Python program to automate getting a users playlists from the Spotify API using OAuth.

We'll cover the API Reference, Authorization (Access Tokens, OAuth), Rate Limits. I will walk you through the parts of the API that let you retrieve songs, albums, playlists from the Spotify API.

I will explain OAuth 2.0 Authentication for REST APIs. We will go through the process of retrieving an access token and writing code to refresh that token from the Spotify API.

ℹ️ ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
In this video, we'll go over how you can get the currently playing track with the Spotify API. This was a requested video to build a Discord bot to get the currently playing song via the Spotify API. This Python tutorial will help you to build your applications with the Spotify API using React/Flutter/Javascript.

In later videos we will look at Spotify API Authorization flows such as OAuth and Access Tokens.

💁🏽‍♂️ WHO AM I:
I'm Imdad, a startup founder and CTO in London, UK. I love making videos about life as a technical cofounder, teaching people to code through cool programming projects and productivity.

I even teach Python tutorials as it is a great programming language that's used by the likes of Google, Facebook, Twitter, Quora and pretty much every big tech company you can name.
