Things I Learned

Making an app that uses the Spotify API is more work than you think!

• Spotify's public API has some questionable decisions, including limits on resources but no search functionality. This means you have to chain paginated requests to get items and make a local search.

• Their development checking team means business. Make sure you read the partner guidelines before build. You get one evaluation per day and the turnaround is slow.

• If you use any metadata from their API, including art, titles, tracks etc. you must add a Open In Spotify button.

• pkce is by far the easiest way of authenticating client-side with their API
