Current song playing endpoint returning null

Leastrio — Sat, 22 Jul 2023 02:15:00 GMT

Hi! Ive made an app that requires people to authenticate with spotify and then that allows my app to fetch their currently playing song. The problem I have is that whenever I fetch a user's currently playing song, all fields return as null. I am confused as to why this happens because I have them authorizing with the correct scope and it works for my account, but only my account it seems.

Does this answer your question: https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/concepts/quota-modes

Gotcha, so i need to send a request to upgrade to extended quota mode? I added a few people to my allow list and it works for a few hours until it just stops working again. Is this a problem on my end? I am refreshing their tokens properly I think.

Honestly I don't know why it works only for a few hours. The reason couldn't be a rate limit, and also no expired token; else you would get an error.
