My Question or Issue

Recently, I upgraded to Spotify Premium with the intention of utilizing the Web Playback SDK API for my web page. However, upon attempting to integrate the API into my project, I encountered an error message stating: "This functionality is restricted to premium users only."

Why i am getting like this even i have taken Premium?

I guess you get this error message because you are using Client Credentials, and that is not supposed by the Web Playback SDK.

So, you did follow this guide and used the token you got by pressing the button?

The next step is to integrate an authorization flow

I don't know. You can try if playing in browser works at https://nelson.glitch.me/ or https://nelson-v2.glitch.me/

If that doesn't work, it's caused by your subscription.
