My Question or Issue:

When attempting to deploy my code, I keep receiving an

HTTP Error for GET to https://api.spotify.com/v1/me/player/currently-playing message.

I've searched around the internet and have found no solutions to my issue.

I've pasted my code below for convenience:

We've just rolled out a fix that addresses some issues related to 403 responses. Can you verify if the issue still persists?

I think the same error is (still) returned on GET https://api.spotify.com/v1/me/player.

Do not use `prompt_for_user_token`; it's deprecated because the access token will not automatically be refreshed after an hour when it expires. You also did not include the scopes that you used in the code. Ensure that you are requesting the required scopes. Here's how to authorize your app:

spotify = spotipy.Spotify( auth_manager=SpotifyOAuth( client_id=client_id, client_secret=client_secret, redirect_uri=redirect_uri, scope=scope, username=username ) )
