Actually, that's a really good content right here; Instead of giving a lecture and demonstrating a code that just works, this guy figures out how to make an idea work by thinking through the problem, but I agree about the music. It's better without it since you explain a lot and there's no time to get bored, nor in any sense, it's a step by step tutorial. I had to think through the problem as well. I really liked the Spotify series, they have really cool API, maybe do one more video exploring the features of it
This video made me realize that if I open the app I built using the API in an incognito window I will be prompted to login. I watched this video to learn how to allow other users to sign into their accounts using my app. I did not even consider that my browser was automatically logging me in. So thank you!
Great tutorial! I just wish I could see your screen better. It's difficult to see details in the code even when I zoom in. Thanks again for a great tutorial! Still working on mine. I keep getting an invalid redirect URI even after double checking it is correct everywhere (even after encoding to base 64).
API-University I’ve been interested in the Zillow API as there are not many videos on TH-cam currently. New subscriber of the channel and wanted to let you know your Spotify videos really helped me on a hobby project recently.
Hi sir, first of all, thank you for the great content! However, when I try to send a request with accessToken, it throws an error with 401 status code saying "Invalid access token". I cannot solve this issue and can't go any further. If you could help, I'd appreciate it!
What do we enter as redirect uri? It wasn't very clear to me in the document hence I was confused. Sorry if my question comes across as stupid, Ido not know much about making api calls, but I'm trying to learn. Thank you.
@@Api-university thank you so much! :) I understood and I was finally able to get through the "Invalid redirect URI" error. Also great video! fairly straight-forward and was a great help to me. I'm looking forward to learn more and more about APIs.
This tutorial is great but the only problem that have is that for some reason my encoded url isn't working in the browser i'm getting an invalid redirect message. Any thoughts? Is it because I can't just use any website to redirect to?
@@Api-university Thank you so much that was one part of the video that I mistakenly skipped over. Just now I have an issue with the playlists.items href call saying it can't read property 0.I'll try to figure it out anyways awesome video!!!
Is there a way to dynamically pull the code from the redirect uri without a manual copy and paste? I would like to have an application that allows me to modify playlists, but right now I have to copy and paste the code from the redirect uri in the browser every time (major limitation).
Yes you can , Spotify github actually provides a function to get the hashed params from the auth token in the URI. getHashParams() { return window.location.hash .substring(1) .split('&') .reduce(function(initial, item) { if (item) { var parts = item.split('='); initial[parts[0]] = decodeURIComponent(parts[1]); } return initial; }, {}); } just make sure you set the response_type in the auth request url to 'token', i had it set to 'code' per the official docs and that wouldn't work.
@@pabloalfaro2595 YES. I have a series of tutorials on this, on the example of the LinkedIn APIs. Wors the same way for Spotify or any other OAuth2 Provider: th-cam.com/video/WhKkbpMjSks/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=API-University

It's the same thing as you get the bearer token, but you must include your refresh_token, and then the API will send you a new access_token. Sometimes the API may send you over a new refresh_token as well (at least that's what the doc says). This even works before the expiration of the token that you got already (lifetime is 3600 seconds which equals 1 hour)
You cannot get a single token that never expires. But: You can create a system, that always makes a valid token available. The key is the so-called refresh-token of OAuth. You need to use it in a background process, that continuously refreshes the token, before the access token expires. I describe how this is done in this course: api-university.com/courses/oauth-2-0-course/
If the access_token expires, and you have a valid refresh_token, you can use the refresh_token to get a new access_token without involving the resource owner.

Very clarifying tutorial! Hope to see more! Thanks for posting the video without the music, with a speed of 2.0 the music gets so weird haha
Thank you so much for this information. You allowed me to make a RFID jukebox using the spotify API!
Fantastic!
Do you have a video on your project?

Yeah smaller face, larger code is needed.
Thanks for your feedback
This is a great video sir, really helped that you are showing all the errors. Thanks!
Glad it helped! Check out the other tutorial videos as well: th-cam.com/play/PL19JOifaOyAeifscOYwXJbkUGkeV2he4O.html

Where are you typing the client id and client secret into? what page is that?
that is an app, that calls the token endpoint. I build it using nodejs
@@Api-university ok thanks!
Really helpful!

Redirect uri is the address where you want the OAuth auth code to be sent. It is an endpoint (URL) on your application.
@@Api-university thank you so much! :) I understood and I was finally able to get through the "Invalid redirect URI" error. Also great video! fairly straight-forward and was a great help to me. I'm looking forward to learn more and more about APIs.
This tutorial is great but the only problem that have is that for some reason my encoded url isn't working in the browser i'm getting an invalid redirect message. Any thoughts? Is it because I can't just use any website to redirect to?
Yes. The URL you use as redirecturl parameter needs to match the URL you registered as redirect endpoint on spotify.
@@Api-university Thank you so much that was one part of the video that I mistakenly skipped over. Just now I have an issue with the playlists.items href call saying it can't read property 0.I'll try to figure it out anyways awesome video!!!

Yes you can , Spotify github actually provides a function to get the hashed params from the auth token in the URI.
getHashParams() {
return window.location.hash

.reduce(function(initial, item) {

initial[parts[0]] = decodeURIComponent(parts[1]);
}
return initial;
}, {});
}
just make sure you set the response_type in the auth request url to 'token', i had it set to 'code' per the official docs and that wouldn't work.

Do you have a tutorial on getting a new access token with a refresh token?
Yes, I describe it in detail how you can refresh your OAuth access tokens with a refresh token here: api-university.com/courses/oauth-2-0-course/
It's the same thing as you get the bearer token, but you must include your refresh_token, and then the API will send you a new access_token.

This even works before the expiration of the token that you got already (lifetime is 3600 seconds which equals 1 hour)
Is it possible to request a Token that never expires?
You cannot get a single token that never expires. But: You can create a system, that always makes a valid token available. The key is the so-called refresh-token of OAuth. You need to use it in a background process, that continuously refreshes the token, before the access token expires.

@@Api-university oh nice thanks for the answer. That's what I thought yeah. In that's case I'll watch the video :)
i get -bash -d command not found error everytime
you may need to install curl
How did you get the description for the website? Like the Clined ID required something
You have to read up on OAuth. get my OAuth Cheatsheet on api-university.com/newsletter
how can we rid from expire token ?
