Curl GET Request to the spotify Authorization API - php

Question

I need some help with my Curl GET Request to the Spotify API.
The API has three different ways/endpoints to get an authorization.
I read some articles, to find the correct syntax to send the request. But i always get an error. If i post the url into my brwoser it works perfectly, also with the redirect uri.
But it doesnt work with the Curl GET Request.
It sounds stupid, but i spend the last three days with this Problem.
My code:
<?php
$client_id = 'myClientID';
$redirect_url = 'http://mywebsite/first/page.php';
$scope = 'user-read-private%20user-read-email';
$data = array(
'client_id' => $client_id,
'response_type' => 'code',
'redirect_uri' => $redirect_url,
'state' => stateHash(), // Create a random hash
'scope' => $scope,
'show_dialog' => 'true'
);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://accounts.spotify.com/authorize' . http_build_query($data));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, TRUE);
$result=curl_exec($ch);
echo $result;
The error from the API Shows me this:
or i got an "1" as response.
I hope that i get some nice tips :)

There is a package for Spotify web API try using that
composer require jwilsson/spotify-web-api-php
Before using the Spotify Web API, you'll need to create an app at Spotify’s developer site.
Simple example displaying a user's profile:
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
$session = new SpotifyWebAPI\Session(
'CLIENT_ID',
'CLIENT_SECRET',
'REDIRECT_URI'
);
$api = new SpotifyWebAPI\SpotifyWebAPI();
if (isset($_GET['code'])) {
$session->requestAccessToken($_GET['code']);
$api->setAccessToken($session->getAccessToken());
print_r($api->me());
} else {
$options = [
'scope' => [
'user-read-email',
],
];
header('Location: ' . $session->getAuthorizeUrl($options));
die();
}
