### Motive

I was adding this page to my personal website that calls the Spotify API and just shows a brief listening history for my account.

![Personal site example](readme/personal-site.png)

However, to retrieve this information from the Spotify API, it requires you to log in. I didn't want all this overhead to just show my recent songs, so I ended up setting up the authorization in this [example repo](https://github.com/spotify/web-api-auth-examples) and going through all this trouble to get a refresh token, which allows you to get access tokens without logging in. I wished I could've easily used a site like this one I've built, where you can just put in your credentials and get your refresh token. So I built it.

# How to deploy to GH pages
