My Question or Issue

Hi all, I am trying to follow the Web SDK guide https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-playback-sdk/tutorials/getting-started

However I am running into an issue where I get the following console errors:

GET https://api.spotify.com/v1/melody/v1/check_scope?scope=web-playback 403
Invalid token scopes
PUT https://cpapi.spotify.com/v1/client/not-sure-if-this-is-sensitive
This functionality is restricted to premium users only

I am a premium user, and I am using the following scopes:

"user-read-private",
"user-read-email"
"user-top-read"
"streaming"
"user-modify-playback-state"
"app-remote-control"

I've tried to add the scope that it seems to be trying to call "web-playback", but then get an illegal scope error. When using the authentication token provided on the actual tutorial page, the app seems to work, it's just when I generate the token myself. The only difference I can see between my scopes and the one the tutorial uses is "openid", however this also returns an illegal scope when I use it.

Has anyone also encountered this error? I'm programming using Python Flask, and making a manual requests call to get the authentication token. Below is how I am authenticating

@auth_blueprint.route('/auth/login') def login(): sp_oauth = spotipy.oauth2.SpotifyOAuth( client_id=SpotifyCreds.CLIENT_ID, client_secret=SpotifyCreds.CLIENT_SECRET, redirect_uri=config.HOSTNAME + url_for("auth_blueprint.callback"), scope=",".join(SpotifyCreds.SCOPES) ) auth_url = sp_oauth.get_authorize_url() return redirect(auth_url) @auth_blueprint.route('/auth/callback') def callback(): authorization_code = request.args.get('code') if auth_service.callback(authorization_code): return redirect(url_for("main_blueprint.home")) else: return redirect(url_for("auth_blueprint.login"))

Many thanks for anyone that's taken a look into this!

Please ignore this, I figured out how to edit the original post after confirming my email 🙂

Hi, thanks for replying. I did read that and used the new scopes listed in the latest comment, however unfortunately still no luck.

Are you using a user with a premium account, or a user with a free account? The error you've provided indicates perhaps that it's a user with a free account?

Hi, I'm using a paid Spotify student account, so I feel like the error is just a default one after the invalid token scopes error.

Oh - your scopes are supposed to be space delimited not comma delimited. Try " ".join(SpotifyCreds.SCOPES)

Did you ever get this fixed? I'm currently having the same issue and it's driving me nuts

Same, I cannot get this to work . . . ! It's crazy annoying.
