# Setup
## Prep work
### GitHub
1. Create a new public GitHub Gist. (https://gist.github.com/)
1. Create an access token with the `gist` scope and copy it. (https://github.com/settings/tokens/new)
### Spotify
1. Go to the Spotify Developer Dashboard and log in. (https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/)
1. Create an app with a name and description.
1. Copy the `Client ID` and `Client secret`.
1. Click on edit settings and add `http://localhost:5000/` as a redirect URI.
1. In your browser enter this URL and replace in this url:
```
https://accounts.spotify.com/authorize?client_id=
&response_type=code&redirect_uri=http://localhost:5000/
&scope=user-top-read%20user-read-recently-played
```
1. After this you should see an url like this in your address bar: `http://localhost:5000/?code=`. Copy this code query parameter.
1. Use this website to generate a base 64 string of the form `client_id:client_secret`. (https://www.base64encode.org/)
1. In a terminal, run the following command and use the base 64 encoded string and code from the previous steps.
```command
curl -H "Authorization: Basic " -d grant_type=authorization_code -d code=
-d redirect_uri=http://localhost:5000/ https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token
```
1. A JSON response containing a `refresh_token` will be returned. Copy this value.
