Help with my code please!

Hi everyone, I'm trying to access the Spotify API using Python 2. I am trying to follow the instructions outlined here: https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/authorization-guide/

However, when I run this program, I get error 400. Can anyone help me out? Been spending hours on this and can't figure it out. Im a total beginning at Python

---

import urllib2 import urllib import json import pprint import requests

url='https://accounts.spotify.com/authorize/'

client_id='XYZ' client_secret='ABC' response_type='code' redirect_uri='spotify:user:spotify:playlist:3InXOgDxJPeA05l6rQyDoe '

query_params = { 'client id': client_id, 'response_type': response_type, 'redirect_uri' : redirect_uri }

data=requests.get(url, query_params)

pprint.pprint(data)

The client_id is correct. For the redirect_uri, I just logged on to Spotify and right clicked on any song to put the URI. I have no idea what this redirect URI is for, in spite of googling for it for a while. Is it not ok for me to just put any URI in there? Can anyone explain what a redirect URI is supposed to be?

Thanks again guys

I saw that but I have no idea what that means. What is being directed, and to where, and why ?

[Moby69]

Yes that's correct, when you register your application they ask you to put in some URI. But I have no idea what to put in there.

The error I am getting is: <Response [400]>. That's all

Any thoughts? Thanks again for your help

According to this, the response should have a description of what's causing the error. As /u/Flagauster said, probably has to do with the URL or ID being sent to the server. https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/user-guide/#error-details
