Spotipy: How can I get the authorization? I'm a beginner

[JessicaMartini212887]

Hi, I'm Jessica and I'm using Spotipy for my graduation. I have a question. After downloading spotipy and requests-master, I have created my Spotify App on Developer. I have ma Client ID and my secret key. Now how can I get the authorization?

Check out #194.

Ok I think that I've done it! I'm using Python on Anaconda Tool, version 2.7. The console has returned me this output:

User authentication requires interaction with your
web browser. Once you enter your credentials and
give authorization, you will be redirected to
a url. Paste that url you were directed to to
complete the authorization.
Enter the URL you were redirected to:

I've matched my app with my account and then the console return a white line...

Now Can I have access to Spotify user data???

@JessicaMartini212887 you might be running into this issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32956443/invalid-redirect-uri-on-spotify-auth

you have to specify a redirect URL (it can just be http://localhost/) but you also have to whitelist it with your app. good luck!

URL just to show you its not right
https://accounts.spotify.com/authorize?client_id=3bc077932594438db9329051e4a86392&response_type=code&redirect_uri=+http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2F&scope=playlist-modify-private
