You should have a declared app in Spotify's developer dashboard to obtain a Client ID
.
How to do it :
As I said, the first thing is to create a Client ID (Create a Client ID
button) on Spotify's developer dashboard.
Type your app's name in the App or Hardware name
text field, and its description on the App or Hardware description
text field. In the What are you building ?
section, indicate the platform which you are building the app for, then click on the NEXT
button. Answer to the commercial integration question, and continue. If necessary, fill the form and check all the boxes at the 3rd stage and you're ready to go. Your app is declared in Spotify's developer dashboard !
Now that you have your app, you have some modifications to do in two files : login.php
and token.php
.
Edit those values :
YOUR_CLIENT_ID
by your Client ID available on your app's panel,YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET
by yourClient Secret
available by clicking on theShow Client Secret
button situated on the same webpage as your client ID,YOUR_DOMAIN
by your redirect URL, in the case of a local hosting replace it byhttp://localhost/token.php
in most cases. Basicaly, it's the accessible URL for thetoken.php
page.
Let's go back on our app's panel. You need to declare the URL where the token.php
page is located, for a local hosting it would be in most cases http://localhost/token.php
. Click on the green Edit settings
button situated on the top of the page, then in the Redirect URIs
text field, indicate yours. ATTENTION : what you typed should IMPERATIVELY be the same as what you wrote in the two precedent files ! Then click on the SAVE
button on the very bottom of the form. Your app is declared and ready to use !
