In this week's episode, I review the Spotify API. My goal: get a list of all the songs in a given Spotify playlist. To achieve this goal, I will go to the dev portal, learn about the API, use the API, and write a node.js application.

[@chillmer4724]

Great video, thanks!

[@berkay478]

is there a script to fetch the ISRC of the song? if yes could you paste it here :) thanks

[@Api-university]

what is the isrc?

[@berkay478]

​@@Api-university Its a international number for recordings. I basically want to make a program that gets a spotify song link and fetches the isrc code via the spotify api. After fetching the code it should search for the same song from other platforms like apple music, amazon music and more.

[@shixuo]

thank you brother for this

[@johnlanni7731]

Can you use the API to get the song playing within your application?

[@mayankkataria7080]

How you got that user id?

[@Api-university]

there is an api call for it.

[@ktown5422]

+API-University Hello Im watching your videos on How to connect to the Spotify API, one question i have for you is how can i make my authentication page load first before navigating to my website?

[@Api-university]

There are a number of techniques for this. A simple one: Check if you have an active session (or a valid token), and if not, make a redirect to your login page. There are a couple of security implications that you would have to look into.

@API-University I fixed my error by building a restAPI that stored my credentials then deployed my api to heroku and used axios call via URL for my authorization credentials then everything worked

[@Api-university]

@@ktown5422 glad you could fix it
