spotify_ex v1.0.0 Spotify.Authentication
Authenticates the Spotify user.
After your app is authorized, the user must be authenticated. A redirect
URL is specified in the config folder. This is the URL that Spotify
redirects to after authorization, and should ultimately end up hitting
this module’s authenticate
function. If the authorization is successful,
the param code
will be present.
If a refresh token still exists, the client will refresh the access token.
