There's extensive documentation on the Spotify developer site, including examples. If you get stuck using those, post your code and error messages, and someone might be able to help

You have to define (I think in the Spotify admin panel) what your application can access, did you set that up?

Yes the URI is defined in the panel - localhost:3000 I just can't figure out 😞

The user doesn't authorize themselves, but you have to authorize using a single account to use the api. It's probably also a bad idea because of that to run it on the front end, because I don't think you want to expose your api key to the user

ohh yes the key was just temporarily there, was goin to create .env after fixing the issue

if your code runs frontend, adding a .env won't fix anything

you posted this in #front-end, which means you're running all your code in the browser right? Just uploading it to a static site somewhere that serves the files and doesn't run any code itself? In that case, the values in that .env file are just going to go through the bundler and straight into the javascript file that's getting sent to the user .env isn't magic security. If the code runs in the browser, the user will be able to get the API key with minimal effort

what im supposed to do then, im using astro

do enough research into what people can do with the API key to see if you're comfortable having it public, or write a backend somewhere that lets you retain control of the key

APII have an api call in app.js- there's a episodeName variable in async 'main' function The variable is console logging the value of name of episodes retrieved by the api. img2: I want to print those values in episodelist.astro page Output: image3 So I want episodelist.astro to be an index for the episode, how can i print the values
