# Apps
|
|
|
|
Your Spotify application is registered in the [Spotify Developer Dashboard](https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard). Each app receives credentials used for authentication.
|
|
|
|
## Creating an app
|
|
|
|
<Steps>
|
|
<Step title="Go to the Developer Dashboard">
|
|
Visit the [Spotify Developer Dashboard](https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard) and log in with your Spotify account.
|
|
</Step>
|
|
<Step title="Create a new app">
|
|
Click "Create app" and fill in the required information.
|
|
</Step>
|
|
<Step title="Configure settings">
|
|
Set up redirect URIs and other app settings.
|
|
</Step>
|
|
<Step title="Get your credentials">
|
|
Note your Client ID and Client Secret for authentication.
|
|
</Step>
|
|
</Steps>
|
|
|
|
## App settings
|
|
|
|
### Client ID and Client Secret
|
|
|
|
Your app receives two credentials:
|
|
|
|
- **Client ID**: Public identifier for your app
|
|
- **Client Secret**: Secret key that must be kept secure
|
|
|
|
<Warning>
|
|
Never expose your Client Secret in client-side code or commit it to version control.
|
|
</Warning>
|
|
|
|
### Redirect URIs
|
|
|
|
Redirect URIs are the endpoints where users are redirected after authorization. You must register all redirect URIs your app will use.
|
|
|
|
Example redirect URIs:
|
|
- `http://localhost:3000/callback` (for local development)
|
|
- `https://myapp.com/callback` (for production)
|
|
|
|
Learn more about [redirect URIs](/concepts/redirect-uris).
|
|
|
|
## Development vs production
|
|
|
|
### Development mode
|
|
|
|
New apps start in development mode with:
|
|
- Access for up to 25 users
|
|
- Standard API rate limits
|
|
- Testing and development features
|
|
|
|
### Extended quota mode
|
|
|
|
For production apps serving more users:
|
|
- Request extended quota through the Dashboard
|
|
- Provide app details and use case
|
|
- Wait for Spotify approval
|
|
|
|
Learn more about [quota modes](/concepts/quota-modes).
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
The Developer Dashboard provides:
|
|
|
