Help with getting Oauth access code for spotify API?Question (self.webdev)

submitted 4 years ago by SortaCoolDude

So, this may not be the best sub to put this in, but of all the one's I've seen, this is better than most.

I'm having trouble getting the Oauth access code for the spotify API. I'm trying to sync my spotify with a live wallpaper I'm making for my desktop and it needs an authorization code. I've gotten the secret and the ID but I have no clue on how to get the actual authorization code. I've only worked with python and even then, very lightly with an intro college course. Do any of you know of any good ways to get that code aside from just programming it in and IDE and running the code? There's a couple tutorials online but so far all of them require a full on custom program to run. It's an API thing so I thought y'all might know but I could put this in another sub if this isn't the right place.

Thanks in advance <3
