Question

I am developing a Spotify App and everything goes very well with a lot of reverse engineering and inspecting the javascript objects from the inspector. However, I can’t seem to manage to get the Facebook connect code working.

I have tried using the Facebook Javascript FB.init() and then FB.login but the domain is sp://myidentifier which isn’t a valid domain for Facebook.

I see that other apps have managed to get this working so I am sure it works. The best way would be if there were any built in methods for doing this since Spotify is well connected to Facebook to start with?

I really appreciate any help I can get. From today I can’t inspect any other apps than my own which otherwise could have put me in the right direction.

Use the auth module instead. sp.core is a private object and will not pass the approval stage for submitting an app on App Finder.

var sp = getSpotifyApi(1);
var auth = sp.require('sp://import/scripts/api/auth');

auth.authenticateWithFacebook('MY_APP_ID', ['user_about_me', 'user_checkins'], {

    onSuccess : function(accessToken, ttl) {
        console.log("Success! Here's the access token: " + accessToken);
    },

    onFailure : function(error) {
        console.log("Authentication failed with error: " + error);
    },

    onComplete : function() { }
});
