My Question or Issue

Hello,

I am running an App that requires the user to authenticate with Spotify, and I am doing this according to the Authorization Code Flow. Most of the times I get successful responses, but occasionally I get an error:

Error: Request failed with status code 400

error: invalid_grant

error_description: Invalid authorization code

As I am logging all the error callback information, I can check that my request is being sent correctly (grant_type, code and redirect_uri, as well as my headers).

It seems to me that Spotify is providing me a flawed code, although I find it very unlikely to happen.

Can anybody help me to sort it out?

Thank you.

Trying everything to solve it but I'm not getting lucky. Tried to move the requests to my backend server and thought that I sorted it out but I'm still getting "Invalid Authorization Errors". Hoping that someone can help us out!!

I think I am experiencing the same issue. I don't know if there is a solution available at this moment

Anyone know solution to this? I am also getting "invalid_grant" even though I've checked both my server and client redirect_URI 's are the same.
