Spotify api authentication not logging in on facebook and spotify

I'm making a script that gets my latest played song from Spotify. I seem to need authentication. I've registerd my app and am making a curl to Spotify

https://accounts.spotify.com/authorize?client_id=MYCLIENTID&response_type=code&scope=playlist-read-private&show_dialog=true&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.stevenliemberg.nl%2Fspotify%2F%3Faction%3DrequestAcces

I do get a login screen, but when I try to login with Facebook I get a generic text saying 'the developer has done something wrong' that ends up in a recursive loop. Once you click ok, the error comes back.

When I try to login via the form with my userID (I can't use email addresses to log on, as I get an error on typing @) it says something's "gone wrong".

The return uri is registered to my app. Does anyone have an idea what's going on? Is it my account or my code?

I'm not sure why you are curling the authorize endpoint, it's meant for your application to direct your users there.

I assume that your web server on http://www.stevenliemberg.nl has an endpoint at /spotify/, handling the query parameter action=requestAcces. (typo?) I also assume that this exact redirect URI is registered for your client ID in https://developer.spotify.com/my-applications/. It's of course important that you don't direct them back at the authorization URL after this, as that would create a redirection loop.

It's correct that if you don't use Facebook to log in, you only provide a username. If you originally registered through Facebook, I believe you can find your username by going to https://www.spotify.com/us/account/overview/.
