Hello everyone,

i am trying to add some tracks to a spotify playlist of mine. But I always get the error Error: 401 Client Error: Unauthorized for url. Can someone help? Thank you 🙂

This is my code:

def get_auth_header(token😞

return {"Authorization": "Bearer " + token}

def get_token():

auth_string = CLIENT_ID + ":" + CLIENT_SECRET

auth_bytes = auth_string.encode("utf-8")

auth_base64 = str(base64.b64encode(auth_bytes), "utf-8")

url = "https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token"

headers = {

"Authorization": "Basic " + auth_base64,

"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

}

data = {"grant_type": "client_credentials"}

result = post(url, headers=headers, data= data)

json_result = json.loads(result.content)

token = json_result["access_token"]

return token

def add_tracks_to_playlist(access_token, playlist_id, uris, position=None😞

if response.status_code == 201:

return response.json()

# Replace these values with your own

You can use Client Credentials for this, and should use the Authorization Code with PKCE Flow.

Don't forget to the Authorization scopes playlist-modify-public and playlist-modify-private, as mentioned here.
