phono Web API setup
Generate a QR code on your computer so you can scan credentials into phono on your Light Phone — no typing on the device.
1. Spotify Developer dashboard
Create an app at developer.spotify.com/dashboard and configure it exactly as below before generating a QR code.
- Redirect URI
-
http://127.0.0.1:43821/callback - Android package name
-
com.lightphone.spotify
Under Android package, add the package name and your app signing
SHA1 fingerprint (see the phono README for keytool instructions).
Select Web API when creating the app.
2. Enter credentials
Paste the Client ID and Client Secret from your Spotify app settings.
3. Scan on your phone
In phono, complete Step 1 (playback login), then on Step 2: Web API tap Scan QR and point the camera at this code. Review the filled fields, then tap Connect Web API.
Dismiss this page when you are done — the QR encodes your client secret in plain text.
Security
- Credentials are processed entirely in your browser — nothing is sent to a server.
- The QR code contains your client secret in plain text. Generate and scan in private.
- Scanning only fills in credentials; you still authorize phono in the OAuth WebView on the phone.
