Can't get recently played songs -

[devil4developer]

My Question or Issue

Hello, 

I'm trying to get my recently played songs and getting an error message saying. 

{'error': {'status': 500, 'message': 'Server error.'}}

 I'm using the correct scope: 

data = {

    'grant_type' : 'client_credentials',

    'client_id' : CLIENT_ID,

    'client_secret': CLIENT_SECRET,

    'scope': 'user-read-recently-played'.

}

auth_res = requests.post(auth_url, data=data)

access_token = auth_res.json().get('access_token')

headers = {

    'Authorization': 'Bearer {}'.format(access_token)

}

base_url = 'https://api.spotify.com/v1/me/player/recently-played'

endpoint = f"?limit={50}&before={unix_timestamp}"

url = ''.join([base_url,endpoint])

print(url)

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)

No  you can not get recently played songs with Client Credentials, because this endpoint requires user authorization.
