How to set up Spotipy and Access Spotify's Web API

My goal is to set up a jupyter notebook where I can analyze features using Spotify's web API. I looked at Python's Spotipy library and installed it. What I'm having trouble is getting a token and figuring out how to define the redirect_url. Is a redirect_url necessary if I simply want to run this on Jupyter notebook?

Am I supposed to clone the spotipy files and then go to util.py to set the parameters for client IDs and username?

I successfully use this code in a Jupyter notebook to authenticate and make requests to Spotify's API with spotipy: 

import spotipy
import spotipy.util as util
from spotipy.oauth2 import SpotifyClientCredentials
import spotipy.oauth2 as oauth2

market = [ "AD", "AR", "AT", "AU", "BE", "BG", "BO", "BR", "CA", "CH", "CL", "CO", "CR", "CY", 
      "CZ", "DE", "DK", "DO", "EC", "EE", "ES", "FI", "FR", "GB", "GR", "GT", "HK", "HN", "HU", 
      "ID", "IE", "IS", "IT", "JP", "LI", "LT", "LU", "LV", "MC", "MT", "MX", "MY", "NI", "NL", 
      "NO", "NZ", "PA", "PE", "PH", "PL", "PT", "PY", "SE", "SG", "SK", "SV", "TH", "TR", "TW", 
      "US", "UY", "VN" ]

CLIENT_ID = "< YOUR CLIENT ID HERE >"
CLIENT_SECRET = "< YOUR CLIENT SECRET HERE >"

credentials = oauth2.SpotifyClientCredentials(
        client_id=CLIENT_ID,
        client_secret=CLIENT_SECRET)

token = credentials.get_access_token()
spotify = spotipy.Spotify(auth=token)

track = "coldplay yellow"
res = spotify.search(track, type="track", market=market, limit=1)
print(res)

Client ID and Secret you get from your Spotify Developer Account.
