Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/770

I am very new to all of this authorization stuff and I couldn't find a newbie guide to walk me through the process of authorization to use the aforementioned endpoints.
So how would I be able to authenticate myself to use said endpoints using spotipy?

Thanks in advance!

Not saying the docs couldn't be simplified, but everything should be there https://spotipy.readthedocs.io/en/2.19.0/#getting-started

Feedback on how you would improve it is very welcome!

Thanks for replying, as a complete beginner, I didn't know how to use scopes, especially when the link in the docs that's supposed to send you to them returns a 404 error. Only after a bit of error searching I was able to understand how to use them and then realized how easy it all is.

Good catch on finding the dead link! If you want, you can contribute to this repo and fix the doc. This is where the documentation code is:

Yes I did create it there, but then again, this is my first time making a pull request, so I am probably doing something wrong.

Here is what I did:

I went to https://github.com/plamere/spotipy
I went to docs > index.rst
I selected the v3 branche
I pressed "Edit the file in your fork of this project"
Made the change and clicked "Propose changes"

Now that I think about it, the 4th step is probably what I did wrong. Here is the correct link if you want to fix it yourself, but I'd appreciate if you show me how I can contribute.

I selected the v3 branche

Ha yes, don't select the v3 branch but stay on master

And to keep both changes on the same branch, just select the same branch twice just before clicking "Propose changes"

Then go to https://github.com/plamere/spotipy/pulls and create a pull request selecting your repo + chosen branch in the right dropdown.

Really appreciate your contribution!

The master branche has the correct link, the V3 one doesn't, so I figured https://spotipy.readthedocs.io/en/2.19.0/ is using V3 index. So now I am bit confused on what's going on 😖

No https://spotipy.readthedocs.io/en/2.19.0/ is using v2.19.0 (master). Just ignore v3 as it's not released yet. Also changes are pulled from v2 to v3, not the opposite. So your changes in v2/master will end up in v3 too at some point!

But the master branche's index.srt is using the correct scopes link, but when you go to https://spotipy.readthedocs.io/en/2.19.0/ and click the scopes link, it takes you the link that V3 has.

Oh you are right, actually the link was fixed on master https://github.com/plamere/spotipy/pull/738 3 months ago and the reason it's not reflected in the doc is that no new version was published. I will try to do that soon... Feel free to ignore that now, but thanks a lot for trying!
