I'm having issues with authentication (I know, pretty basic haha). But here's my code:
`import spotipy
import spotipy.util as util

sp = spotipy.Spotify()

scope = 'user-library-read'

util.prompt_for_user_token("my_username",scope,client_id='client_id',client_secret='client_secret',redirect_uri='python-spotify-test-app://callback')

results = sp.search(q='weezer', limit=20)
for i, t in enumerate(results['tracks']['items']):
print(' ', i, t['name'])`

As you can see I am passing in the parameters in the right order for the util#prompt_for_user_token method. However, I'm using a fake redirect URI (doesn't point to anything) and when I get prompted to enter the URL after running this code I get a Bad Request error. I'm making sure that what I input is EXACTLY the same as what I set the redirect url to be...

I know this question might be dumb but what should I put for the redirect uri? Thanks

EDIT: Fixed it... apparently, I forgot to add a slash at the end of my redirect uri.... lol
