400 Error with Javascript Rdio API

Question

Any thoughts on why I'm getting a "Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 (Bad Request)" in the Javascript on my client? (client-id obscured, I have one for an Oauth2.0 app via registration Rdio site)

index.html:

 <script src="https://www.rdio.com/api/api.js?client_id=12345678"></script>

response:

https://www.rdio.com/oauth2/authorize/auto?response_type=token&client_id=12345678&showSignup=true&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8080%2Fhelper.html%3Fclient_id%3D12345678

The response text from the https://www.rdio.com/oauth2/authorize/auto request should reveal the error. For example, making a request from the shell:

$ curl "https://www.rdio.com/oauth2/authorize/auto?response_type=token&client_id=12345678&showSignup=true&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8080%2Fhelper.html%3Fclient_id%3D1234567"

For a valid client ID, a possible response might be:

Invalid redirect_uri

If this is the error you're receiving, which seems likely, to resolve it, you need to add your redirect_uri's domain to the Redirect URIs in your Rdio application's settings.

That was indeed helpful. The redirect uri needed to be added in the settings — john hight, Aug 13 '15 at 00:01
