My Question or Issue

Today I set off to build a Spotify app. Everything was going swimmingly till I hit the createPlaylist endpoint.

I can log in and retrieve an access token, from there I am able to query for the user and get the user's id. I can list tracks in a playlist, but what I can't do is create a playlist. Any help would be awesome.

export const createPlaylist = async (accessToken, userId, playlistName) => { const url = `https://api.spotify.com/v1/users/${userId}/playlists`; console.log(url); const headers = { Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`, 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }; const data = { name: playlistName, public: "false" }; try { const response = await axios.post(url, data, { headers }); return response.data; // Assuming it returns the created playlist details } catch (error) { console.error('\n\nError creating playlist:\n', error); return null; } };

Do you have used the right scopes? You can find them at the top of each endpoint reference page.

Playlist creation worked fine for me until today.

Now, I have a 502 error.

I have it even when trying to create a playlist from here https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/create-playlist

Yes I got an error but it works perfectly fine at the developers page.

"error": {"status": 403, "message": "Insufficient client scope"
