Spotify Playlist Generator

Overview

This project was designed to automatically create a new Spotify playlist and add songs from HotNewHipHop's top 100 by scanning the website for new songs from artists I enjoy.

Disclaimer

Aside from small scripts I wrote while at school, this was my one of my first coding projects. Before this project, I understood the base concepts of programming, but never really knew how to apply them to real life scenarios. This script made me realize the endless power of programming.

What I learned

  • API - This was my first time working with an API. I never really understood what they were beforehand. Lucky for me, Spotify had a well-documented API that fit in perfectly with my objective.
  • Version Control - I knew version control was a key part of any project, so I figured this would be a perfect project to learn the basics of GitHub.
  • Web Scraping - I had previously worked a little bit with Beautiful Soup and Requests, but this project helped me learn more about how Python can scrape the web for information.
  • Functional Programming - In my previous projects, I had only ever used a few functions in a script. This taught me how to separate one big problem into separate objectives.
