Bubble.io and Spotify API integration: Step-by-Step Guide 2024

Discover our step-by-step guide on seamlessly integrating Bubble.io with Spotify API for a smooth and enhanced music app development.

What is Spotify API?

The Spotify API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of web services provided by Spotify for developers to use in their applications or websites. This tool allows third-party developers to integrate Spotify's music streaming service into their own applications, granting them access to Spotify’s vast music library, user playlists, and other features. It acts as a bridge between Spotify's database and other software, facilitating interaction and data exchange.

How to integrate Bubble.io with Spotify API?

This guide will detail how to integrate the Spotify API with the Bubble.io platform. Bubble.io is a powerful no-code platform that allows you to create web applications without having to write code.

You must have a Spotify developer account and a Bubble.io account to follow this guide.

Step 1: Spotify Developer Account

  • Visit the Spotify Developer Dashboard at https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/.
  • Click on LOG IN. If you don't have a Spotify account, click SIGN UP to create one.
  • After logging in, you will have access to the dashboard. Click on the CREATE AN APP button.
  • Fill in the name and description fields for your new app. Accept the terms and conditions, then click CREATE.
  • Note the Client ID and Client Secret presented on the next screen. These will be necessary for connecting to the Spotify API from Bubble.io.

Step 2: Spotify App Settings

  • Click on the Edit Settings button in your Spotify app.
  • In the Redirect URIs section, type in your Bubble app's callback URL.
  • Assuming your Bubble app URL is https://yourapp.bubbleapps.io/, the callback URL will be https://yourapp.bubbleapps.io/api/1.1/oauth_redirect.

Step 3: Bubble.io Plugin Installation

  • Go to your Bubble.io editor ( https://bubble.io/page?type=page&name=index&id=yourapp&tab=tabs-1 ).
  • Click on Plugins in the left-hand menu, then click on + Add plugins.
  • Search for API Connector from the Bubble.io plugins marketplace and click Install.

Step 4: Bubble API Connector settings

  • Go back to the editor, click on the Plugins tab again, and you should see API Connector in your installed plugins list.
  • Click on API Connector to open its configuration settings.
  • Click on Add another API.
  • Fill in the details for your API as follows:
  • API Name: anything you like, such as "Spotify".
  • Authentication: OAuth2 User-Agent Flow.
  • Application ID: Enter your Spotify Client ID.
  • Shared Secret Key: Enter your Spotify Client Secret.
  • Token endpoint: https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token.
  • Authentication endpoint: https://accounts.spotify.com/authorize.
  • Scope: enter the Spotify API scopes needed by your app (like user-read-private user-read-email).
  • Test User: Leave this blank.
  • Redirect URI: Paste your Bubble app's Redirect URI here (https://yourapp.bubbleapps.io/api/1.1/oauth_redirect).

Step 5: Bubble API Call

  • Under the same "Spotify" API settings, click Add another call.
  • Fill in the details of the Call:
  • Call Name: Anything you like, such as "Get User Info".
  • GET from API URL: https://api.spotify.com/v1/me.
  • Click on Initialise call to verify if our setup is working properly. If everything is set up correctly, Spotify will authenticate, and Bubble API Connector will show the returned data sample from Spotify in the Response Results field.

Congrats! Now you can use the Spotify API within your Bubble.io application.

Remember to replace yourapp with your actual Bubble.io app name throughout the process. Depending on the requirements of your app, the calls and exact usage might vary, but the initial setup and integration process remains the same.

Bubble.io and Spotify API integration usecase

Scenario: A music event organizing company wants to create personalized event suggestions for its users based on their Spotify listening habits. They use Bubble.io to build a user-friendly application where users can sign up, login, and get tailored event suggestions. The company wants to use Spotify API to access users' public playlists and top songs for providing personalized event suggestions.

Solution: Integrating Bubble.io with Spotify API.

Creating the Application: The company uses Bubble.io to build a simple and interactive application. It has features like user signup, login, and a dashboard displaying personally-tailored events.

Setting Up the Integration: The developers install Spotify API plugin in their Bubble.io application and configure it with the Spotify API key. They make sure that all necessary permissions like accessing public playlists and top songs are granted.

Data Fetch Workflow: When a user logs in, a workflow is triggered. The Spotify API fetches user's top songs and public playlists. These songs and playlists are analyzed to figure out user's favorite genres and artists.

Personalized Event Suggestion: The application algorithms then compare user's favorite genres and artists with the scheduled events. It suggests the user those events which match their Spotify listening habits.

User Interaction: The users receive tailored event suggestions on their dashboard. When a user shows interest in an event, they are redirected to the event booking page, enhancing the user experience.

Monitoring and Analytics: The integration allows comprehensive monitoring of user actions on the application. The company gets insights into how users are interacting with suggested events, and which type of events are getting more attention.

Benefits:

  • Unique Experience: Providing personalized event suggestions enhances user experience, leading to increased user satisfaction.
  • Engagement: The integration makes the application more engaging, increasing the user interaction time.
  • Data Insights: The actionable insights obtained from user interactions and their Spotify habits can be used to refine event suggestions.
  • Boost Sales: Suggesting events based on user's listening habits can potentially lead to increased event bookings.

By integrating Bubble.io with Spotify API, the music event organizing company can provide its users with an engaging application that gives tailored event suggestions, increasing their satisfaction and potentially boosting event bookings.
