Fixed: failed Spotify’s API setup - Invalid client: Invalid URI

[aleksanderwalczuk]

Hi there 👋

I got stucked during configuration process. I was basically copy-pasting the documentation, but it took me about 2 hours to pass the whitelisting tui's url. What I've noted is:

• when I clicked the generated url to open it in the browser it was it was incomplete in the browsers tab, like cut in half. This was seen on Visual Studio Code integrated terminal on Mac OS 10.15, fixed when I've switched to different terminal emulator (iTerm2) it worked fine
• other API data (client_id, client_secret) was fine
• generated callback url contains the redirect_uri parameter pointing to http://localhost:8888

Solved by whitelisting both http://localhost:8888 and http://localhost:8888/, worked as a charm.

Hope it saves some of your time, gl

tui installed via brew on OSX 10.15.7

Same issue here. When you say 'whitelist' – are you just adding them to /etc/hosts/?

@benfrain you have to whitelist it on the Spotify WebAPI side:

1. log into https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/applications
2. Create an App or pick existing
3. Click Edit Settings button and find Redirect URIs
4. Add whitelisted URIs below

Thanks @aleksanderwalczuk up and running now 👍

I had my http://"IP address":8888 instead of http://localhost:8888 🤦

Thanks! That did the trick! xD <3
