The Flask web application displays today's top 50 Spotify tracks and allows users to view top tracks for other days in the database. It also features a graph showing the top 5 most popular artists and their song counts per day.
- A cron job runs a Python script daily to generate a Spotify API access token.
- The script fetches the Spotify Top 50 Global playlist data.
- Track details (title, artist, album, popularity) are extracted and stored in an SQLite database.
- Track data is stored in an SQLite database, maintaining historical data for user access.
- The Flask app retrieves and displays the top 50 tracks for the current day.
- It uses the Plotly library to create a graph of the top 5 artists and their song contributions.
- Users can select different dates to view past top tracks, dynamically updating the displayed data.
- A date picker allows users to choose specific dates.
- The application fetches and displays data for the selected date from the database.
- The SQLite database ensures data persistence for future access.
- Daily cron jobs update the database with the latest top 50 tracks.
