Kabloombox translates your music taste into a foreign language to help you find your new favorite songs and artists.
Kabloombox uses user-generated content (scraped from language-learning subreddits) to recommend new foreign-language songs to you. The scraper looks for Spotify links in specific subreddits and stores all the songs' data from each of the playlists inside the database. Kabloombox then uses the song data to calculate a similar playlist for the user with similar traits (such as tempo, energy, danceability, etc).
Install the necessary libraries using this command:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Instructions here.
Head to the Spotify for Developers page and create a new app. Note the CLIENT ID and CLIENT SECRET.
Head to your Reddit apps page and create a new app. Note the CLIENT ID, CLIENT_SECRET, AND USERS AGENT.
The praw module requires a praw.ini file with your Reddit credentials. Create that file in the kabloombox folder and subsitute your information in:

submission_kind=t3
subreddit_kind=t5
# The URL prefix for OAuth-related requests.
oauth_url=https://oauth.reddit.com
# The URL prefix for regular requests.

Log in with your Google account and select the appropriate project from the list.
Create a config.py file in the kabloombox folder and insert all of your secret keys:
CLIENT_ID_SPOTIFY =
CLIENT_SECRET_SPOTIFY =
CLIENT_ID_REDDIT =
CLIENT_SECRET_REDDIT =
USER_AGENT_REDDIT =
FLASK_SESSIONS_KEY =

By default, the app runs locally at localhost:8080.
Set the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable.
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/path/to/your/credentials-key.json
This script also allows you to run tests (it asks you at the beginning).
The project's logging level with Flask is DEBUG, so use this line for logging:
logging.debug("logging text")
print() will not work.
