Got error curling link about novatorem

[RaymondJiang1]

No matter what I do, I still get the same error. I followed the video and it still didn't work. I even used a different application and still didn't work

[RaymondJiang1]

Never mind. I figured it out! Thank you so much!

My curl url looks like this. curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -H "Authorization: Basic {TheBase64Thing}" -d "grant_type=authorization_code&redirect_uri=http://localhost/callback/&code={ThecodeIgotfromlocalhost}" https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token

Shouldn't be affected if you're using the terminal, I just put in the link for people with different shells.

Anyway, looks like Invalid client secret is the issue really, so just make sure if grabbed the right client secret?
Don't share it publicly though, and someone made a video on the setup, which should help.

Thank you so much! I followed it and it didn't work for some reason. Thanks for linking a video to one of my favorite coding youtubers! I will let you know if it will work! Thanks!

Oh? What was the issue?

Others might be up against the same challenge, so any help would be useful.

So I didn't delete the space between the semi-colon when you do the Base64. Just saying but your Base64 code thingy should ALWAYS end in a = no matter what.
