Why this course
If you're interested in accessing personalized Spotify data like we mentioned above, Spotify requires your app to be authorized. And to get authorization, you'll need to implement something called OAuth. This course will walk you through every step of the OAuth flow in a concise, easy to follow way. Unlike YouTube tutorials that only cover a few concepts and leave you with half-baked GitHub repositories, we'll cover everything from explaining what REST APIs are to implementing Spotify's OAuth flow to fetching data from the Spotify API in React hooks. Split into seven modules, each lesson includes clear, detailed explanations and complete code examples. By the end of the course, you'll have an app deployed to the internet that you can share with your friends and add to your portfolio.
What we'll build
On the front end, we'll build out a professional, responsive user interface with React, React Hooks, and the popular CSS-in-JS library, Styled Components. We'll pull in data from the Spotify API using modern ES6 async/await methods and display that data in an engaging way.
On the back end, we'll learn the basics of REST APIs, HTTP requests, and OAuth. We'll lift the veil on how to authorize an app with Spotify, and then build a Node server with the Express framework to handle our authentication requests. Finally, we'll deploy our app to the internet using Heroku.
