# spotify-new-album

Historically "following" an artist on spotify hasn't allowed me to be notified immediately of an artist releasing an album. This program is designed to be run along with a wrapper script and cron to tell you when your favourite artist has posted a new album.

# Details

50 min code challenge: Create a program that alerts when your favourite artist adds a new album.




Code is dodgy but it works.

# Install / Run

1. Install prerequisites by running ```pip install python-dateutil spotipy```

1. Go to https://developer.spotify.com/my-applications/ and create an application

1. Set the Redirect URI to http://localhost

1. Export your settings from the my-application page on spotify in your linux terminal:

```

export SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID=''

export SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET=''

export SPOTIPY_REDIRECT_URI='http://localhost/'

```

5. Edit spotify-new-album.py to enter your username

6. Run python spotify-new-album.py

# Notes

Only tested on Python 3.4




If you import this into another python app you could probably do something cool like text you or whatever. But I had 50 minutes.
