// Search and Play

const results = await spotify.search("Bohemian Rhapsody", ["track"]);

await spotify.play({ uris: [results.tracks.items[0].uri] });

// Create Smart Playlist

const recs = await spotify.getRecommendations({

  seed_genres: ["chill"],

  target_energy: 0.4,

  limit: 30

});

const playlist = await spotify.createPlaylist("Chill Vibes", {

  description: "AI-curated relaxation",

  public: false

});

await spotify.addTracksToPlaylist(playlist.id, recs.tracks.map(t => t.uri));

Best Practices

• Rate Limits: Respect Spotify API limits

• Caching: Cache frequently accessed data

• User Consent: Request appropriate scopes

• Fallbacks: Handle unavailable tracks gracefully
