Spotify API Web : OAuth without Node.js

I used the Web API Spotify. I followed the tutorial ( https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/tutorial/ ) to create authentication. However, it using Node.js and I wonder if we can do without it? (the rest of my code is in JavaScript and does not require Node.js)

Solution

  • You can work with Spotify's Web API using only frontend code.

    You might want to have a look at the JavaScript wrapper as it offers language bindings for all API endpoints so it should save you a lot of time. If you're working without a backend, the only way to retrieve access tokens is through the Implicit Grant flow, see documentation or demo application for more detailed information.
