My Question or Issue

Hi,
I'm sending a request to Spotify to authorize. The goal is a response with user e-mail. It goes to Spotify login, I log through Facebook, it shows INVALID_CLIENT: Invalid redirect URI.
And the final URL is:
https://accounts.spotify.com/authorize?scope=user-read-email&response_type=code&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fsubdomain.domain.com%2Flogin.php&client_id=longnumber

I follow this flow:
https://github.com/jwilsson/spotify-web-api-php

I believe the URL must contain the "code" parametr. I also think it must redirect to the given URL. The request ends up with the above mentioned final URL with no any redirect (result code 400 ).

Could you please help me out?

Hey @vaclav20210, thanks for reaching out on the Developer Community!

Let's dive right into this. It sounds like the redirect_url parameter you're passing in the request URL (https://accounts.spotify.com/authorize?scope=user-read-email&response_type=code&redirect_uri=https%3...) isn't specified in the App Settings on the Developer Dashboard.

Could you double-check that the right redirect URL is specified in your app's settings? (make sure the protocol/ports match too). Let me know how you get on!

Have a great day,

Hubo

Hi, and thanks for the response. Yes, I double checked. I created an app, filled up website, redirect URL ending with /.

It started working "overnight" automatically. This one was a new account and the account confirmation e-mail arrived in the late night.
A solution would be: "Wait for a confirmation e-mail".
