My Question or Issue

Im trying to make an application web for eductional purpose.

So far i tried this:

<?php //$client_id = '<insert your spotify app client id>'; $client_id = 'da145e8c4b304dc3875a8e79a062c927'; //$client_secret = '<insert your spotify app client secret>'; $client_secret = '480dd953494c477c9a0c97c4fdcc459b'; $headers = ['Authorization: Basic '.base64_encode($client_id.':'.$client_secret)]; //https://accounts.spotify.com/authorize/?client_id=CLIENT_ID&response_type=token&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8888%2Fcallback&scope=user-read-private%20playlist-modify-public&state=34fFs29kd09 $url= 'https://accounts.spotify.com/authorize'; $redirect_uri = urlencode( 'http://localhost:8080/callback/loginspotify.php'); $statedado ='Hola'; $ch0 = curl_init(); curl_setopt( $ch0 , CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt( $ch0, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true ); curl_setopt( $ch0, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, true ); curl_setopt( $ch0, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'state=' . $statedado ); curl_setopt( $ch0, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'response_type=code' ); curl_setopt( $ch0, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'scope=playlist-read-private%20playlist-modify-private' ); curl_setopt( $ch0, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'client_id=' . $client_id ); curl_setopt( $ch0, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'redirect_uri=' . $redirect_uri ); //curl_setopt( $ch0, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER , $headers); curl_exec($ch0); $resultauth=curl_exec($ch0); curl_close($ch0); echo $resultauth; $fullquery = 'https://accounts.spotify.com/authorize?response_type=code&state=' . $statedado. '&client_id='.$client_id.'&scope=playlist-read-private%20playlist-modify-private&redirect_uri='. $redirect_uri; echo $fullquery;

When i execute my script:

http://localhost:8080/provaspotify.php

I found the error attached in the image...

The strange thing is that if i got the fullquery and put it directly in the navitagtion bar of my browser... i got something

The fullquery: https://accounts.spotify.com/authorize?response_type=code&state=Hola&client_id=da145e8c4b304dc3875a8e79a062c927&scope=playlist-read-private%20playlist-modify-private&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8080%2Fcallback%2Floginspotify.php

I got this response:

http://localhost:8080/callback/loginspotify.php?code=AQCLeoPLgz-D9O5ECs0yPpE_vuUS2vgR_cMpb-p0lAjdbJsP2nVVS0CMCYhZYHHmdyFgPjZ-sUaAc1oS2FlUwgitvb5CYjH0wf816NTBWR6zKOIeiYwMSAkUnTrHueFfubeiD06WD43qHY1Dg7Kv4TqFfHiLvSmKcYDXb0vGNWbQXBwpGFBEAcD4u32FmdBbdEtzT6xTKcwljOPaVaRkBOfZXbi8PO5QksCXwckpTzwQ3JDuE0jrKvmy8EJxffMTo3HG&state=Hola

So seems that somehow was authorized or something happened there.

Any help would be apreciated..this is the error im facing in the request

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Error> <Code>AccessDenied</Code> <Message>Access Denied</Message> <RequestId>3Q87VNPZ813KR750</RequestId> <HostId>Yy1nwW8u/aYLJyqjOwoZODuY+1g04nSA01avRuo5B+AfEQ1kNjeliEasOlyMduEwUAsNBdk2Vns=</HostId> </Error>

Id like to access some personal data of the user, like playlist, but first of all the user have to give permissions...

By the way im the only user my account mail is **bleep**, and im the only user authorised in my app. Also seems redirect uri is ok, because is the same as in the app.

Update 1:

Ive been making some tests. Seems a bug in spotify web api.

Also noticed that code in format:

curl_setopt( $ch0, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt( $ch0, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true ); curl_setopt( $ch0, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, true ); curl_setopt( $ch0, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'response_type=code' ); curl_setopt( $ch0, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'client_id=' . $client_id ); curl_setopt( $ch0, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'scope=' . $scope); curl_setopt( $ch0, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'redirect_uri=' . $redirect_uri ); curl_setopt( $ch0, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'state=' . $state ); curl_setopt( $ch0, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'show_dialog=' . 'true' );

doesnt like to spotify web api...But this one it seems to work

//////////Request User Authorization $params = array('state' => $state,'response_type' => 'code', 'scope' => $scope, 'client_id' => $client_id, 'redirect_uri' => $redirect_uri, 'show_dialog' => 'true' ); $url = $endpoint . '?' . http_build_query($params); curl_setopt($ch0, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($ch0, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

Seems a nonsense.

Seems important thing here is http_build_query instruction, for this reason i think it could be a bug, or it shold be documented...

curl_setopt($ch5, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($params))

Update 2;

Although i receive a state and code, the script is not redirected to the redirect_uri...

i have to do a trick, its ugly, but works...i redirect to the page manually:

$fullquery = 'https://accounts.spotify.com/authorize?response_type=code&state=' . $state. '&client_id='.$client_id.'&scope='. $scope.'&redirect_uri='. $redirect_uri; echo $fullquery; header('Location: '.$fullquery);
