Hi
I try to playback songs in my own app using Web Playback SDK.
In the OAuth callback response I got this:
credentials = {AuthorizationCodeCredentials@9873} "AuthorizationCodeCredentials(accessToken=BQBfqJ8***wnZUKg, tokenType=Bearer, scope=playlist-read-private streaming user-modify-playback-state user-read-playback-state user-read-currently-playing user-read-recently-played, expiresIn=3600, refreshToken=AQCf***iBnh4)"
accessToken = "BQBfqJ8***wnZUKg"
tokenType = "Bearer"
scope = "playlist-read-private streaming user-modify-playback-state user-read-playback-state user-read-currently-playing user-read-recently-played user-read-email"
expiresIn = {Integer@11904} 3600
refreshToken = "AQCf***iBnh4"
This says, that I got a token, providing all scopes, I need to playback.
When I use the token in my player, I got the message in browser develop mode:
player.component.ts:68 Token passed to SDK: BQBfqJ8***wnZUKg
index.js:3
GET https://api.spotify.com/v1/melody/v1/check_scope?scope=web-playback 403 (Forbidden)
player.component.ts:103 Authentication error: Invalid token scopes.
player.component.ts:88 The Web Playback SDK successfully connected to Spotify!
Is this a bug, that I got Invalid token scopes?
the code snippet looks like this:
/**
* Initializes the Spotify Web Playback SDK player instance.
*/
initSpotifyPlayer() {
console.log('Initializing Spotify Player...');
this.player = new window.Spotify.Player({
name: 'Your Web Player',
getOAuthToken: async (cb: (token: string) => void) => {
try {
const token = this.spotifyService.getToken(); // Fetch token
if (token) {
console.log('Token passed to SDK:', token);
cb(token); // Pass token to SDK
} else {
console.error('No valid token found');
cb(''); // Pass empty string to avoid errors
}
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error fetching token:', error);
cb(''); // Pass empty string in case of error
}
},
volume: 0.5
});
// Set up event listeners for the player
this.setupPlayerListeners();
// Connect to Spotify
this.player.connect().then((success: boolean) => {
if (success) {
console.log('The Web Playback SDK successfully connected to Spotify!');
} else {
console.error('Failed to connect to Spotify');
}
});
}
/**
* Sets up event listeners for Spotify Web Playback SDK player events.
*/
setupPlayerListeners() {
this.player.addListener('initialization_error', (error: ErrorMessage) => {
console.error('Initialization error:', error.message);
});
this.player.addListener('authentication_error', (error: ErrorMessage) => {
console.error('Authentication error:', error.message);
});
this.player.addListener('account_error', (error: ErrorMessage) => {
console.error('Account error:', error.message);
});
this.player.addListener('playback_error', (error: ErrorMessage) => {
console.error('Playback error:', error.message);
});
this.player.addListener('player_state_changed', (state: PlayerState) => {
console.log('Player state changed:', state);
});
}
Is anyone facing the same problem?
Cheers
Stefan
Solved! Go to Solution.
Welcome to the Community, and thanks for your question!
According to the information on this page, you'll need the following scopes: streaming, user-read-email, and user-read-private. It seems you're missing the last one. Additionally, the other scopes you mentioned aren’t required if you're only using the Playback SDK.
I hope this clarifies things!
Cheers!

This solved the problem. At least, I don't get the message "player.component.ts:103 Authentication error: Invalid token scopes." any more.
Thanks a lot.
