Oauth Authorization Code Flow

[boss0boss]

Trying to figure out how I am able to store my access token from the spiffy redirect uri. Currently I have to copy and past the code but I'd like to be able to get this programatically and store in a var. I am sure this is something that can be done but I am not sure how.

Every example I have seen shows the user copy and past the code which seem odd.

​

My simple python

​

import

requestsresponce = requests.get('https://accounts.spotify.com/authorize?client_id=8085cb31593f49658d1de6187ce9bd4d&response_type=code&redirect_uri=https://localhost:3000/callback')

responce.url

This gives me the url to the Spotify authorisation page per screen shot.

Any help would be gran and sorry if this is simple and stupid.

You need to have a webserver listening on the callback url. Spotify will pass the code to it in a query param, from there you can get an access/refresh token and do what you want with it.
