500 Response error when creating playlist

11150105713 — Thu, 31 Aug 2023 00:50:15 GMT

My task is to build a program that first scraps songs from billboard.com, and then uses the Spotify API to search for these songs and create a playlist.

The scrapping part and seach parts are working. The problem arises when I try to create a playlist.

Every time the code for create_playlist runs I get a 500 error. I am not sure if the error comes from calling (in spotify.py):

requests.get('http://localhost:5000/createplaylist', params=params)

or (in spotify_service.py)

requests.post(url, headers=headers, params=params)

I don't know if the error it's from my flask server or from Spotify or if there is a mistake in the code.

I was hoping someone could spot the problem.

Here are the files (I've also attached them just in case)

main.py

        # self.user_input = input("Enter a date for the top 100 (YYYY-MM-DD)")
        # self.song_list = self.data_scrapper.scrap_songs('1992-08-12')
        self.spotify = Spotify()
        self.spotify.create_playlist('1992', 'Collection of the Greatest hits of 1992', False)
        # self.spotify.get_playlist('2QUpzT3uDaRXnhzcPqLF7F')
