Spotify API

Learning to work with API's here, trying to loop through this JSON and get the url for images for starters, once I get that going I feel I can get other bits of data, this is as far as I've gotten but don't understand whats not working and how to make it work. Thanks. 

$("button").click(function(){
  var spotify = "https://api.spotify.com/v1/artists/4EVpmkEwrLYEg6jIsiPMIb/top-tracks?country=US";
  function displayPhotos(data){
    var html = '<ul>';
    $.each(data.tracks, function(i,eachTrack){
      html += '<li>';
      html += '<img src"' + eachTrack.images[0].url + '">';
      html += '</li>';
    });
    html += '</ul>';
    $("main").html(html);
  }
  $.getJSON(spotify,displayPhotos);
});

Not much to change :) Just note that each track is contained in an "album" object, so I added that, and secondly, I just added an equal sign to your img src attribute. 

$("button").click(function(){
  var spotify = "https://api.spotify.com/v1/artists/4EVpmkEwrLYEg6jIsiPMIb/top-tracks?country=US";
  function displayPhotos(data){
    var html = '<ul>';
    $.each(data.tracks, function(i,eachTrack){
      html += '<li>';
      html += '<img src="' + eachTrack.album.images[0].url + '">';
      html += '</li>';
    });
    html += '</ul>';
    $("main").html(html);
  }
  $.getJSON(spotify,displayPhotos);
});
