You are going to see how to get your Spotify data with 3 easy steps.
If you follow my blog, you may have noticed that I like to write posts while listening to songs. Music is a daily part of many of our lives. Wouldn’t it be cool if you could see what your music said about you this year? You don’t have to wait for your music streaming service to provide that for you anymore. You can see and learn from your listening data at any point in the year using Tableau - how cool is that?
I've found some tutorials teaching how to get your data from Spotify using API. To be honest, I found that a bit difficult and started to look for some work-around. Fortunately, there is an easy way to get your data and I will share with you these 3 easy steps.
Step 1. Access your Spotify Account
First, open up open.spotify.com in your web browser. Click on your name in the top right corner and then click on “Account.”
Step 2. Request your data
Now, navigate to the left side of the page and click on “Privacy Settings.” Scroll down to the section “Download Your Data” and look toward “Account Data.” Make sure to check the box next to “Select Account data”, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click “Request Data.”
Step 3. Verify your email
Now you just need to verify your data request via your email inbox. After confirming, you should receive your account data from the previous year within the next 5 days.
That's it! You did it! Now it's your time to make an amazing viz that tells the story of your year and found insights that matter to you. Share you viz with your friends and don't forget to tag me. I'll be happy to see your viz.
