When Tim said this video was more advanced my heart sunk when it didn't work like the other videos. I gave it a few hours tired it again, Brave broke 4 times and it authenticated! Thank you for providing these videos and love your work!!!

June 2022: Anyone getting INVALID_CLIENT: Invalid redirect URI

[RocseyXAmine]

Thank you Tim for this series, love from India !

Tim, there is a built in function it takes the fields that you would use to get it, and if it doesn't found it, you can pass a parameter default with a dictionary with the other parameters
It returns a tuple, model and boolean if created

At end, the most awaited thing finally came.
Thank you tim.

Great tutorial, really useful although I would recommend to read the documentation if you want to learn what's under the hood. Your functions made sense and were helpful while reading the docs, thank you!

I know this series is old, but just putting this out here
I encountered an error where the user is not being redirected to the spotify login page, and me being me the error was that
return Response({'status' : is_authenticated}, status=status.HTTP_200_OK)
in the spotifyAuthenticated view i used status.HTTP_200_Ok, literally i used Ok instead of OK and django didnt even let me know this was an error, i had to search for hours for the error.

So if u encounter an error do not give up, keep searching all the files, even basic ones, use developer tools on chrome or whatever browser, use print or console.log statements etc

good luck!!

ps: its fairly easy to use chatgpt to convert class components to function based ones and run on the newer versions

Next project on scheduling scraping with django please 🤩

[darkbanana]

Hey, im getting the exception "unsupported type for timedelta seconds component: NoneType". I checked and timedelta needs an integer but we passed seconds=expires_in where expires_in is a DateTimeField. Can i just change expires_in?

[yusufyahya]

Why i got ilegal scope with my browser and function normal in icnogitomode

[TylerReinert]

If the redirect function is giving you an invalid request after signing in to Spotify, , make sure that the text following the colon of "frontend:" matches the name in frontend/urls.
