NASA Exoplanet Archive https://exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu/ The NASA Exoplanet Archive is an online astronomical exoplanet and stellar catalog
and data service that collates and cross-correlates astronomical data
and information on exoplanets and their host stars, and provides tools to work with these data.
The archive is dedicated to collecting and serving important public data sets
involved in the search for and characterization of extrasolar planets and their host stars.
These data include stellar parameters (such as positions, magnitudes, and temperatures),
exoplanet parameters (such as masses and orbital parameters) and discovery/characterization
data (such as published radial velocity curves, photometric light curves, images, and spectra).
An exoplanet, or extrasolar planet, is a planet outside of our solar system
that usually orbits another star in our galaxy.

* Regarding this example you must create the folder spotify_api_keys in yout $HOME directory
with a file containing your Spotify Client ID (spotify_client_id.key)
and another file containing your Spotify Client Secret spotify_client_secret.key
You can copy this directory structure from the extra folder of this project.
Tree from your $HOME directory:
.api_keys
