Hi

I'm having a problem....
https://beta.cloudmoosic.com/music/spotify/login
After login I'm getting the Invalid Authorization Code Error, I've used the examples you gave but it's still not working....

Any idea on how to fix this?

Hi,
Everything works fine for me when I test your code locally.

It looks like you're using CodeIgniter, could the framework interfere with the $_GET parameter?

I don't know anything about CodeIgniter, but it appears you have to replace $_GET['code'] with $this->input->get('code').

I'm not very familiar with CodeIgniter either, but the docs might be of some help: https://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/input.html

It looks like this might work:
$this->input->get('code', TRUE);

Looks like something's wrong with your app credentials, invalid client ID, wrong redirect URI etc.

Try adding a trailing slash to the redirect URI, i.e. https://beta.cloudmoosic.com/music/spotify/login/. Both in your app's settings at https://developer.spotify.com/my-applications/ and in your code.

I'm running out of ideas here. Have you tried creating a brand new app and using those credentials instead? (which you should anyway since your secret is now out in the open)

@hvt any ideas?

Try: https://gist.github.com/hvt/b1ec30ece40e2fdd872c (of course with the appropriate client ID and client secret)

I really bet it's the trailing slash in your 'redirect URI' (i.e. the Session constructor's third argument). And like @jwilsson says, be sure this trailing slash is both in the code, and at the Spotify application page.

I guess there's truly something wrong with your client ID, client secret, and redirect URL + what information you supplied to Spotify.

I really don't know where the error is coming from. It seems like CodeIgniter is doing something funky which is out of our control.

I'm closing this for now since it isn't a bug in the library.
