My Question or Issue

I want to make a website that allows users to create a playlist through the website on Spotify. However, currently every time someone tries to make a playlist it will make it on my account as its my client id and secret. How can I fix this?

You can make use of client side sessions/cookies with their own access token, instead of storing the access token on your server.

Thank you for the suggestion. Do you have any videos or instructions I can follow to help?

On which platform/OS does your app run, and which programming language do you use?

There is one thing I forgot to mention: new apps have limited capabilities in development mode, and must have an extended quota extension before other users can use your app. Other users can only test your app before the quota allocation when they are added to the allow list of your app.

You can read more about this at this page.

I am on windows and using python. To do what I want to do, does this require a extended quota?

Then you can have a look at this python app that uses a Flask Session Cache Handler.

If it is a hobby project with only (up to) 25 whitelisted users, you don't need a quota extension. If want to release it to more users, don't want to use a whitelist, or want a higher rate limit, then you do need it.

Do you know how to fix this?

Yes, add

client_id="YOUR_APP_CLIENT_ID",client_secret="YOUR_APP_CLIENT_SECRET",redirect_uri="YOUR_APP_REDIRECT_URI"

in between the same (brackets) as:

spotipy.oauth2.SpotifyOAuth(scope

and fill it in with your own details.

To support the Community, it is recommended to keep everything public on this platform.

As a reaction on a private message, I have suggested with this other Stack Overflow answer.
