Inspiration

Finding something to do on your flight can be annoying and boring. We wanted to create some entertainment that can fill the entire duration of a flight.

What it does

Our solution takes in your flight number and date and looks up the flight information on American Airline's Flight Engine API (mock API and data) and gets the duration of your flight. It then asks for access to your Spotify accounts and puts a playlist the duration of your flight right into your account.

How we built it

We built this with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. We utilized a mock API from America Airline's for the flight info and Spotify's API to create the playlist and add it to the user's account.

Challenges we ran into

Our team had little experience with JavaScript and HTML so there was a learning curve. We can into some issues with some features on Spotify's API being deprecated and had to pivot some of our decisions.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are happy with our backend program that quickly compiles songs into a playlist and adds it into your account.

What we learned

We learned a lot on using JavaScript and HTML as well as working with API's.

What's next for Spotifly

Next steps would be adding more options to vary what kind of playlist gets built for you, such as genre or culture related to your destination.
