Album Searcher experimental 🧪

This is a React application developed using vite.js. This app uses the Spotify API to make requests and finally retrieving the group of albums composed by a certain artist which is based on user's searching queries

This is an experimental code. The purpose of this project is to test functionality for the development of a greater application See here the main application: Jamming;

Getting Started

First, run the development server:

npm run dev

Open http://localhost:5173 with your browser to see the result.

You can start editing the page by modifying src/App.jsx.

API's management in this project

APIs on this project can be accessed on src/api/spotify. This folder stores all of the API calls and information handling and returning occur here. The app logic behind this API calls works like this:

  1. First make a request to the Spotify API retrieving the access token to be able to perform the rest of the requests. The token then is returned. Learn more about access token here
  2. Second it makes the call to the getArtistId() which will utilize the previous token and the input the user entered.
  3. This function makes a request to the Spotify API get artists and adds the search queries. This alongside the token added as part of the request must return an array of artists. Since the request bases on the user input it brings the firsts artists that matches this input.
  4. Now the id from the first element [0] of the array is taken an returned
  5. Afterwards, we need to retrieve the albums from this artist. So based on the previous artist_id, using the Spotify API get artist's album you are retrieving the albums associate to this artist. Remember that you must also add the token to this as part of the request
  6. Then, the group of albums (JSON) is returned
