I'm having a hard time trying to authenticate my spotify app on localhost. I have my redirect_uri set as localhost:8888/callback (have also tried it with http://) at my developer account, but I get this error page when terminal prompts me to enter the URL I'm being redirected to.

I am running my server using python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8888, and entering at terminal python script.py username.

This is my Python script:

scope = 'user-library-read'

if len(sys.argv) > 1:
    username = sys.argv[1]
else:
    print "Usage: %s username" % (sys.argv[0],)
    sys.exit()

token = util.prompt_for_user_token(username, scope, client_id='myId', client_secret='mySecret', redirect_uri='localhost:8888/callback')

if token:
    sp = spotipy.Spotify(auth=token)
    results = sp.current_user_saved_tracks()
    for item in results['items']:
        track = item['track']
        print track['name'] + ' - ' + track['artists'][0]['name']
else:
    print "Can't get token for", username

This is the log:

    token_info = sp_oauth.get_access_token(code)
  File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/spotipy/oauth2.py", line 210, in get_access_token
    raise SpotifyOauthError(response.reason)
spotipy.oauth2.SpotifyOauthError: Bad Request

What could be wrong?

have you tried it without the port number? So replacing

localhost:8888/callback

with this:

localhost:/callback
