This is a React-Express application that retrieves data from your Spotify account using the Spotify Web API. It also optionally uses MongoDB to temporarily cache (10 minutes) data from previous API calls to minimise excess calls to the Spotify Web API.
The data retrieved includes:
- Top listened to artists from your last year, 6 months, or 4 weeks.
- Top listened to songs from your last year, 6 months, or 4 weeks.
- Given a playlist that you created, your top 5 artists, genres, or song release years featured in the playlist.
- Given a playlist that you created, the top 10 most 'popular' (based on Spotify metrics) songs featured in the playlist.
To run, simply use Docker with 'docker compose up --build' in the root directory.
You will need 2 '.env' files, one in the './backend' and the other in './frontend' (Template env files provided).
The backend .env file should contain:
PORT=*YOUR BACKEND PORT HERE*
PORT_FRONT=*YOUR FRONTEND PORT HERE*
FRONTEND_URL=*YOUR FRONTEND URL HERE (INCLUDE HTTP/HTTPS)*
CLIENT_ID=*SPOTIFY APP CLIENT ID*
SECRET_ID=*SPOTIFY APP SECRET ID*
