this is a demo of the algorithm, not a full app / hosted service using it with a pre-populated database. The spotify link would be to fingerprint the song and add it to the database

You're right. The Spotify link is used solely to get details about the song. These details are then used to search for and download the song from YouTube. Afterward, the fingerprint for the song is created and added to the database.
