Ezoo_play Project:

Project Goal:

• Adding top songs for a list of artists.
  As Electric Zoo 2019 is around the corner, this project is ideated specifically for adding songs for EZoo 2019 artists.
  However, the code can be easily adapted to add top songs for any list of artists.

Instructions:

Prerequisites:

1. Set up a Web API with Spotify for devlopers. (https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api)
2. Update the list of artists in data/artists.txt if you want your own list of artists.

Once you have a Spotify API set up, you can proceed with the following.

Step-by-step:

1. Copy this repository:

git clone https://github.com/0ethel0zhang/ezoo_play.git

(Optional) Create your own list of artists if EZoo 2019 isn't your cup of tea:

• save the list of artists in a text file under the path data\artists.txt

2. Create a virtual environment running the following command in command line (Replace the NAMEYOULIKE part with whatever name you want to call your virtual environment):

conda env create -f environment.yml -n NAMEYOULIKE

3. Activate the environment using:

conda activate NAMEYOULIKE

4. If you want to access your own spotify playlist. Create a .env file in the main directory with the following access information (use your own key and token):

export user_name = "whatever"
export client_id = "whatever"
export client_secret = "whatever"
export redirect_uri = "whatever"
export playlist_name = "whatever"
export num_songs = "whatever"

5. To run the main program:

python src/play.py

Follow any instructions that is prompted in the command line. (The only one should be a spotify verification step that requires you to copy the address of the pop-up website.)

conda deactivate When you are done.
