My Question or Issue

Hi,

I'm creating a bot using the Spotify API. This bot should update one of my playlist by adding a specific song.

My problem is that I cannot obtain an access token with the /authorize endpoint.

Here's my code :

When I process the GET request to authenticate my app (see the https.get part above) and when I check what is given in my console (output given by the return console.log(response)), I get that :

... responseUrl: 'https://accounts.spotify.com/login?continue=https%3A%2F%2Faccounts.spotify.com%2Fauthorize%3Fscope%3Duser-read-private%2Buser-read-email%2Bplaylist-modify-public%26response_type%3Dcode%26redirect_uri%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Flocalhost%253A8888%252Fcallback%26state%3DlD3Ijyz5ucTZ9L5B%26client_id%3D516af068412341e69675da2c0f364846%26show_dialog%3Dfalse', ...

This is the reponse URL I have. It seems that I'm not logged, thus I cannot access the Spotify Web API.

My callback route is working since I can copy/paste the authorizeUrl in a browser, and I'll get the token written in a text file. It's only when I try to process a request with https.get that it doesn't work.

If the API prompt me for login, then why is there an CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET since there not used ?

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance

EDIT : fixed obtained URL since it wasn't what I obtained ^^
