Plotly Demo with Spotify

Quick demo from summer 2019 -- was testing Plotly capabilities on my spotify data to do a plotly proof-of-concept. (Yes, this is was a pretty rushed thing, but I thought it worth it to throw up on Git)

To test demo:

Option one -- Bash:

Run:

./init.sh (this installs Plotly, so activate a virtual env if desired)

This will show a demo graph of spotify usage

Option two -- Python:

pip install -r requirements

python readdata.py SampleStreamingHistory.json This will show a demo graph of spotify usage

Test your own spotify data:

Download your streaming data https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/download-privacy-data-spotify/

(Have to wait a few days, sorry! That's why I've included sample data in this repo!)

Your downloadable data will include a json file entitled StreamingHistory.json that includes all streaming history from the past 90 days.

Run: python readdata.py /path/to/your/StreamingHistory.json

A note:

Did this summer primarily to test out Plotly as a viable Matplotlib alternative, and not to create a cool Spotify feature. I've since then realized there's a pretty comprehensive Spotify Web API and am planning to mess around with it on this repo once the academic quarter ends :)
