My Question or Issue

I use to be able to get the devices using:

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

But now I always get that:

{
"error" : {
"status" : 401,
"message" : "Permissions missing"
}
}

All my other request works fine. I set the following scope to get my token:

  • playlist-read-private
  • playlist-read-collaborative
  • user-modify-playback-state
  • user-read-currently-playing
  • user-read-playback-position

I can't figure out why I'm not able to get the devices anymore and I always return 401 Permission missing ?!

I find the solution for that: simply add the scope : "user-read-playback-state"
