Goal is to create a 'full-stack' data project, where we build out a full solution allowing a user to explore their Spotify listening habits
Game Plan
Step One - Pulling the data
Spotify provides an API that can be used to pull a variety of data for a user (or Spotify in general)
For convenience (and skill/job relevancy), the API will be accessed via spotipy, a Python wrapper for the above linked API
The API 'secrets' are manaaged through environment variables, and so if you wanted to clone and use this code for yourself, you will need to generate and store these with your own credentials (as demonstrated here)
Following examples from spotipy's documentation page (and the Spotify full API documentation), we are able to pull 'current_user_recently_played' records to begin building our data
