A miniature API for retrieving Spotify status.
This was made because the first version of my personal site is using Astro, a static site generator, to build. This is a problem for me (partially due to poor planning) because I wanted to retrieve my Spotify status and display it on my personal site.
I solved this by making a small API in Python using FastAPI and deploying it on Vercel. On my site, I make an API call to this API on a set interval to get varying data from Spotify.
If you want to use this API yourself, follow these steps:
- Clone repo with
git clone git@github.com:kiabq/minispot.git - Obtain your Spotify client_id, client_secret and refresh_token. Here's a useful tutorial for doing so.
- Fill in environment variables and deploy wherever you want
