Forbidden 403 on GET Queue

tod97 — Tue, 11 Oct 2022 08:50:56 GMT

Hi,

I'm trying the Spotify API with through my app in development mode and I'm receiving an error anytime I try to call:

GET https://api.spotify.com/v1/me/player/queue

The error (why so generic?):

data: { error: { status: 403, message: 'Forbidden.' } }

Even if I try this API with the developer console I get this error, without any further information.

Furthermore, this is the only API that doesn't work for me.

What can I do to fix it?

I figured this endpoint works only for premium users. The only doc mentioning that could be this page https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/guides/using-connect-web-api/ if we assume that `me/player/queue` is part of the playback category of endpoints. But it would be better if this was mentioned on the endpoint doc directly https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/#/operations/get-queue or in the error message being returned.

had the same issue.

then i noticed all other premium users endpoints do return the following error, however they messed up on the queue

(probably worth fixing)

{ "status": 403, "message": "Player command failed: Premium required", "reason": "PREMIUM_REQUIRED" }
