Setup

Libraries required

from dotenv import load_dotenv
import spotipy
from spotipy.oauth2 import SpotifyClientCredentials, SpotifyOAuth
from flask import Flask, redirect, url_for, render_template, request, session, flash
from datetime import timedelta
import os
from PIL import Image, ImageDraw
import requests
from io import BytesIO
from random import shuffle
from flask_caching import Cache

Integrating with spotipy

To run the webpage, user authorization is required. Register your app at My Dashboard to get the credentials necessary to make autorized calls (a client id and client secret)

Your spotipy redirect uri can be http://example.com, http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1:9090. Whichever you'd prefer. For me, I could only use http://127.0.0.1:9090 for reasons that I can't be bothered to discover.

Loading environment variables

Use a .env file and python-dotenv to load your env variables into album.py

Going Further

Intended design

Actually intended to do a photo collage like this where the bigger cells would be assigned to your most listened artist but I couldn't understand how to implement it into my code and spotipy didn't have a function to grab number of times listened per artist, or at least I couldn't find it. Had a couple problems installing packages on windows too.
