What were your goals for this week?
This week, we spent our time figuring out the music API.
What did you accomplish, please reflect on your time management. What worked or didn't?
We were really successful and are thrilled to tell you that we figured out how to use the Deezer API for song previews. This was a huge milestone to reach and allows the user to type in an artist name, song name, misspell things, etc. and it will fetch the top result.
How did you integrate feedback?
We integrated feedback after presenting to various groups. We decided to go with song previews (30 second length every time) which simplifies things in the backend (when to stop generating art, when certain animations should appear, etc.)
What was unexpected / what lessons did you learn? It was quite unexpected to see how difficult it was to integrate music via an API. This took hours and was the biggest headache we’ve experienced since starting the project. Thankfully we solved this issue, and are ready to approach are next problem.
Our code is organized and simple to keep our backend clean and understandable. Check it out below!
