Add Spotify as a social connection
You will learn the following:
- Use Spotify to authenticate users with OAuth
Before you start
Enabling OAuth with Spotify allows your users to sign up and sign in to your Clerk application with their Spotify account.
To make the setup process easier, it's recommended to keep two browser tabs open: one for the Clerk Dashboard and one for your Spotify Developer Dashboard.
Enable Spotify as a social connection in Clerk
- In the Clerk Dashboard, navigate to the SSO connections page.
- Select Add connection and select For all users.
- In the Choose provider dropdown, select Spotify.
- Ensure that both Enable for sign-up and sign-in and Use custom credentials are toggled on.
- Save the Redirect URI somewhere secure. Keep the modal and page open.
Create your app in Spotify
- On a separate page, go to the Spotify Developer Dashboard and sign in.
- In the top-right, select your profile button and select Dashboard.
- Select Create app.
- Complete the required fields. For Redirect URIs, add the Redirect URI that you saved from Clerk Dashboard.
- Select Save.
- On your app page, select Settings. Keep this page open.
Set the Client ID and Client Secret in the Clerk Dashboard
- In the Spotify app's settings page, save the Client ID and Client secret somewhere secure. To reveal the Client secret, you must select View client secret.
- Navigate back to the Clerk Dashboard where the modal should still be open and paste these values into the respective fields.
- Select Add connection.
Test your OAuth
The simplest way to test your OAuth is to visit your Clerk app's Account Portal, which is available for all Clerk apps out-of-the-box.
- In the Clerk Dashboard, navigate to the Account Portal page.
- Next to the Sign-in URL, select Visit. The URL should resemble:
- For development –
https://your-domain.accounts.dev/sign-in
- For production –
https://accounts.your-domain.com/sign-in
- Sign in with your Spotify account.
