## Configuration

### Getting Spotify API Keys

Create an account on [developer.spotify.com](https://developer.spotify.com/). Navigate to [the dashboard](https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard).
Create an app with redirect_uri as http://localhost:8888. (You can choose any port you want but you must use http and localhost).
I set "APIs used" to "Web Playback SDK".
