Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/926

I'm trying to send .get_authorize_url across discord so a friend can authorize. It currently allows them to sign in, but after they do, it says This site can't be reached 127.0.0.1 refused to connect.
Then if they call the current song command on the discord bot it returns my song, not theirs.

async def csong(ctx):
    c.execute("SELECT sp FROM accounts WHERE id = {I}".format(I=ctx.user.id))     
    uid = c.fetchone()[0]
    auth_manager = spotipy.oauth2.SpotifyOAuth(scope='user-read-currently-playing', show_dialog=True, username=uid)
    await ctx.respond(auth_manager.get_authorize_url())
    token = spotipy.util.prompt_for_user_token(uid, scope='user-read-currently-playing', oauth_manager=auth_manager, show_dialog=True )
    sp = spotipy.Spotify(token)

If I remember correctly, it's fine to see This site can't be reached 127.0.0.1 refused to connect. All your friend needs to do is copy the URL at that point and send it to you (that URL contains a code), so that you can enter it in your terminal when you get Enter the URL you were redirected to and complete the authentication.

Ok now I'm calling this sp_oauth.get_authorize_url() and then in another function I send the url
code = ctx.options.URL token = sp_oauth.get_access_token(code=code, as_dict=False, check_cache=False)
But then it says this:
spotipy.oauth2.SpotifyOauthError: error: invalid_grant, error_description: Invalid authorization code

Just had to parse it! The bot is fully complete now :D

code = ctx.options.URL
code = sp_oauth.parse_response_code(code)
print(code)
token = sp_oauth.get_access_token(code=code, as_dict=False, check_cache=False)
