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.

Python is the world's most popular programming language in 2020. Python 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. It's used everywhere, whether it's in competitive programming, coding interviews, areas of data science, machine learning and algorithmic trading.
