Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/92

I've been trying countless different methods, and getting the code and callback, but my application keeps saying "bad request". See below:

# set environment variables
os.environ["SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID"] = c_id
os.environ["SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET"] = c_secret
os.environ["SPOTIPY_REDIRECT_URI"] = callback_uri
token = util.prompt_for_user_token(username, scope)

and the output:

Opening https://accounts.spotify.com/...output_omitted...

Enter the URL you were redirected to: http://localhost:8888/...output_omitted...

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./HotUnity.py", line 24, in
token = util.prompt_for_user_token(username, scope)
File "build/bdist.macosx-10.11-intel/egg/spotipy/util.py", line 86, in prompt_for_user_token
File "build/bdist.macosx-10.11-intel/egg/spotipy/oauth2.py", line 210, in get_access_token
spotipy.oauth2.SpotifyOauthError: Bad Request

I was also just having this problem and in my case I discovered after some inspection that my callback url had a "#" at the end followed by "=". When pasting the callback url into the console I omitted that portion of the url and it worked! Spotipy needs to be able to properly parse out the code from the callback url
