Emotional damage. Never knew VS Code had this much beef with me...

Okay so the authentication for spotify is hard for me to understand and requires user authentication, then making a token request that while expire in an hour. So i focused on what I did know how to do and what I had access to token wise. The Spotify developer home page has a temporary access token for demos. I took that token and made a function to make get request to the API and two functions for top tracks and top artists. Then made some functions to print them in my terminal. Here is what my end product looked like in the terminal.

The data for tracks is proving to just show a years worth of listening even though I specified long_term in my get request.

Here is my code:

I tried just doing track.artist but Spotify handles that as multiple artists so I had to handle them as such.

Next Steps: Tackling the user authentication and token requests and including it in this code.
