#### 🎧 Spotify API
To access Spotify metadata, the project now uses the official [Spotify Web API](https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/). This requires creating a developer application and retrieving a client ID and client secret.
Follow the [official getting started guide](https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/tutorials/getting-started#request-an-access-token) to:
1. Create a Spotify developer app.
2. Copy your **Client ID** and **Client Secret**.
Create a file named `credentials.json` in the `server/` directory with the following structure:
```json
{
"client_id": "your-client-id",
"client_secret": "your-client-secret"
}
```
The application will automatically read this file to fetch and cache access tokens. If the token is expired or missing, a new one will be requested.
#### 💻 Set Up Natively

The `-f` or `--force` flag allows saving the song even if a YouTube ID is not found. Note that the frontend will not display matches without a YouTube ID.
Note: if `*.go` does not work try to use `./...` instead.
