Create Spotify API Client ID and Client Secret

• Go to https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard and sign in with your spotify account
• Create a new app e.g. spotify-lyrics and copy the client id
• Edit settings afterwards and add "http://localhost:5000/callback" to the allowed Redirect URIs

Add the following environment variables to a .env file in your project folder:

CLIENT_ID=<your client ID>
CLIENT_SECRET=<your client secret>
SCOPES=user-read-private user-read-email user-read-playback-state
REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:5000/callback

Create a random secret by using:

python -c 'import os; print(os.urandom(16))'

Add the value to the environment variable FLASK_SECRET_KEY in your .env file.

virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
