My Question or Issue

My team and I are getting a "Invalid Client" / WebapiAuthenticationError: An authentication error occurred while communicating with Spotify's Web API error

We can confirm that we have quadruple checked the client id and client secret in our being the exact same from our dev dashboard, we can confirm that we recreated a client secret as well.

Our use case is simple, we created a cloud function via firebase that makes endpoint calls to the Spotify Web Api every 30 minutes to extract our apps user most recently played tracks from spotify. Here's a small example snippet of the begging of our code structure to reference my use case above.

const functions = require("firebase-functions");

const admin = require("firebase-admin");

const SpotifyWebApi = require('spotify-web-api-node');

admin.initializeApp();

exports.getRecentSongs = functions.pubsub.schedule('every 30 minutes').onRun(async (context) => {

// Initialize Spotify Web API

const spotifyApi = new SpotifyWebApi({

clientId: 'myclientid',

clientSecret: 'myclientsecret'

});

You should use code for the Authorization code flow with the user-read-recently-played scope.
