+# Spotify-Bot
+Trying to make a chat-bot used to queue, play and stop songs on the same spotify user. 
+
+Spotipy is used as a wrapper for the spotiy API. 
+
+A config.py file is hidden from this project as it contains the app ID, secret etc.. 
+To get this working, create a config file with the variables: 
+username ='your-username'
+clientID = 'your-client-ID'
+clientSecret = 'your-client-secret'
+redirectUri ='your-redirect-uri'
+playlistID ='your-playlist-ID'
