Spotify

Spotify signs users in with their Spotify account. It is the natural connector for music tooling, playlist apps, and anything that reads a listener's library.

Copy the redirect URI

In the Authdog console, select the project and environment, open Authentication > Providers, find Spotify, and click Enable. Copy the redirect URI shown in the form:

https://identity.authdog.com/api/v1/callback/<connectionId>

Create the Spotify app

1. Open the Spotify Developer Dashboard and select Create app.
2. Fill in the app name and description.
3. Under Redirect URIs, add the redirect URI from Authdog. Several are allowed, so all your environments can share one app.
4. Under Which API/SDKs are you planning to use, select Web API.
5. Save, then open Settings and copy the Client ID. Select View client secret to reveal the secret.

Configure Authdog

Save, then toggle the connection active.

What Spotify returns

Authdog requests user-read-private user-read-email and reads the profile from https://api.spotify.com/v1/me — the Spotify user ID, display name, email, country, avatar, and subscription product level.

The email is the address on the Spotify account. Spotify does not indicate whether it is verified, so do not treat it as a verified address if that distinction matters to your product.

Test it

1. Add your test account under User Management if the app is still in development mode.
2. Open your environment's hosted sign-in page, or link to https://identity.authdog.com/api/v1/signin/<connectionId>.
3. Select the Spotify button and authorize.
4. Confirm the user appears under Users with the account email attached.
