I am using the Spotipy python library to interact with the Spotify web api. I have worked through the API and docs but I do not see a clear example that shows how the library supports the Authorization code flow ( https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/authorization-guide/#authorization-code-flow ).
I implemented a simple Authorization Code flow with the help of Spotipy. Maybe this is helpful for other people as well. Also on github: https://github.com/perelin/spotipy_oauth_demo
Here is the code:
from bottle import route, run, request
import spotipy
from spotipy import oauth2
PORT_NUMBER = 8080
SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID = 'your_client_id'
SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET = 'your_client_secret'
SPOTIPY_REDIRECT_URI = 'http://localhost:8080'
SCOPE = 'user-library-read'
CACHE = '.spotipyoauthcache'
sp_oauth = oauth2.SpotifyOAuth( SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID, SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET,SPOTIPY_REDIRECT_URI,scope=SCOPE,cache_path=CACHE )
@route('/')
def index():
access_token = ""
token_info = sp_oauth.get_cached_token()
if token_info:
print "Found cached token!"
access_token = token_info['access_token']
else:
url = request.url
code = sp_oauth.parse_response_code(url)
if code:
print "Found Spotify auth code in Request URL! Trying to get valid access token..."
token_info = sp_oauth.get_access_token(code)
access_token = token_info['access_token']
if access_token:
print "Access token available! Trying to get user information..."
sp = spotipy.Spotify(access_token)
results = sp.current_user()
return results
else:
return htmlForLoginButton()
def htmlForLoginButton():
auth_url = getSPOauthURI()
htmlLoginButton = "<a href='" + auth_url + "'>Login to Spotify</a>"
return htmlLoginButton
def getSPOauthURI():
auth_url = sp_oauth.get_authorize_url()
return auth_url
run(host='', port=8080)
If someone needs the working code here is my current.
Just remember to change the client_id, etc. I put them in config.py.
import spotipy
import spotipy.util as util
from config import CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, PLAY_LIST, USER
import random
token = util.oauth2.SpotifyClientCredentials(client_id=CLIENT_ID, client_secret=CLIENT_SECRET)
cache_token = token.get_access_token()
spotify = spotipy.Spotify(cache_token)
results1 = spotify.user_playlist_tracks(USER, PLAY_LIST, limit=100, offset=0)
When I was trying to do this none of these answers really got me there unfortunately. When I ended up figuring it out I detailed how in this post: https://stackoverflow.com/a/42443878/2963703 I was using Django as my backend but all the spotify api oauth stuff is done in javascript so it should still be very useful for you.
