Hi. I'm using Spotipy for a project I make, and I have to say it is really convenient and clear. But I struggle with one thing regarding the OAuth authorization flow. In the app I make, my goal is to ask a user to login with their Spotify account, and then immediately proceed. However, I can't simply proceed as there is an input prompt asking me to "Enter the URL you were redirected to". Currently, I haven't found any way to proceed besides copy-pasting the URL, which as far as I understood will be an action the user will have to do before proceeding in my app. My question is as follows:
Is there any way to either avoid this prompt completely or automate the URL copy-paste process, so that the user can simply proceed in the app without further interaction after logging in?

Any help is welcomed. Thank you in advance.

add redirect_uri like this:

spotify = spotipy.Spotify(auth_manager=SpotifyOAuth(client_id= "your client id",
                                                    client_secret= "your client secret",
                                                    redirect_uri="http://localhost:8080",
                                                    scope="your scopes"))

@dieser-niko commented on GitHub (May 15, 2023): add `redirect_uri` like this: ```python3 spotify = spotipy.Spotify(auth_manager=SpotifyOAuth(client_id= "your client id", client_secret= "your client secret", redirect_uri="http://localhost:8080", scope="your scopes")) ```

Hi, and thank you for resolving my issue! For some reason I haven't received a notification about your answer and therefore I've seen it just now. The problem turned out to be that my redirect_uri was in https instead of http lol. Thank you again!
