Hey guys, really cool project!

I was just wondering since I couldn't find it anywhere what does exactly long_term, medium_term and short_term mean when fetching user's top tracks for example. Is it all-time, one year and 30 days?

Thanks!

I found this at https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/#/operations/get-users-top-artists-and-tracks

Over what time frame the affinities are computed. Valid values: long_term (calculated from several years of data and including all new data as it becomes available), medium_term (approximately last 6 months), short_term (approximately last 4 weeks). Default: medium_term
