Autorize enpoint not working

g_user_test — Sun, 25 Sep 2022 13:56:43 GMT

Hello,

I am trying to use the spotify public aPI, and for this I am trying to generate a token according to this documentation:

https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/general/guides/authorization/code-flow/

The problem is that whenever I try to send the request for authorize, I get error 401 - Unauthorized.

Endpoint used: https://api.spotify.com/authorize and https://api.spotify.com/v1/authorize

parameters:

- client_id: the one generated by the app

- response_type: code

- redirect_uri: the exact one (copy paste) that I set in the app

The error that I am receiving is this one:

{

"error": {

"status": 401,

"message": "No token provided"

}

Can anyone help with this error?

As a mention, I also tried this endpoint: https://accounts.spotify.com/authorize

Hi @g_user_test!

There are several steps involved with getting a token through the authorization code flow. In the beginning, your app will redirect the user to https://accounts.spotify.com/authorize with a set of query parameters described in the documentation. The user may then be redirected back to your application. The last step involves making a POST request to https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token as described here.

So there are two URIs to keep in mind, both of them under the accounts.spotify.com hostname rather than api.spotify.com. Hope this helps!
