Authorizing

Authorizing with Vibify. You can use the authorize method to get the authorization URL for the user to authorize your application.

async function authorize(userId) {
    return await vibify.authorize(userId);
}

const link = authorize('user-id');
console.log("URL: ", link);

Or with cURL:

curl https://localhost:3000l/authorize/user-id

Note

When going to the URL, the user will be asked to log in and authorize your application. After the user has authorized your application, they will be redirected to the redirect URL you specified in the .env file of the server. In this case it will return the API key as a json response.

Response after clicking the link

{
  "api_token":"7d5649cd1bd7253ddbd15e098459f15ba04..."
}

Note

The API token is used for future requests using cURL. Disregard the API token if you are using the SDK.

Scopes

Scopes let you specify exactly what type of access you need. Scopes limit access for OAuth tokens. They do not grant any additional permission beyond that which the user already has. In this case, the SDK already has the necessary scopes for what it’s capable of doing.

Note

The user will be asked to authorize the scopes you specify in the scopes parameter of the authorize method.

Spotify Scopes The set of scopes you pass in your authentication request determines the access permissions that the user is asked to grant.
