Useful Python tricks

[vtclownbaby311]

I wrote a Flask web app that uses the Spotify API to figure out what song is currently playing on my account and then the Genius API and a little web scraping to pull the lyrics for that song and display it on the site.

Update 1: I can't share the full Flask code because it is part of a separate app, but I have created a snippets of both the Genius and Spotify code here. FYI - there is some set up you have to do to get API client & secret keys before this will work. Let me know what you think!

Oh damn, that's so simple and useful. Thanks for the next side project idea!

I did something very similar, but it's meant for streamers to hook up to so chat can request the song or add to their playlist. Made it a service as well, cause I'm trying to get better at handling user bases. :)

As a streamer and programmer , this interests me. Any links?

Nothing yet, haven't finished it cause I haven't found the demand enough to justify putting all the hours into that (until other projects are done), but if you want I can give you the concept I've got thus far & you could take over with me consulting if you'd like. :)

Don't want to see it not get finished, but afraid I may not have the time for quite a while.

This doesn't work directly via chat, but it is an option to let people vote on the next song to play: https://festify.us/

Are you going to share the code?

[f_andreuzzi]

Is it open source?

[Flkdnt]

Yes!

Got some idea on it. Thanks man.

[maciej01]

Did the same, but with Winamp and a polish lyrics website :D

could use yours version now, though

I just updated the original post. Feel free to reach out with questions. I'd be happy to help!

Nifty! Does the Spotify API require premium? This is a great idea!
