Spotify Playlist Saver

Description

This personal web application fetches and saves the user's Spotify playlists for backup purposes. The server runs on Flask, processing and serving responses. Jinja enables dynamic web pages. An authorized session is established with an OAuth2 handshake according to the Spotify API, resulting in an access token being granted. Backups are saved as JSON files, fit for further development.
