Can't get users recently played after following the authorization process user-read-recently-played

[debbies123]

Hi All, 

After following the authorization process 'user-read-recently-played' and checking in my personal account if it worked, I still can't retrieve my recently played tracks. It seems to be an authorization problem, as I can retrieve the user profile info. Below I'll provide you with my authorization code, followed by my code to retrieve the 50 past tracks and my error message. Really hope you can help! Many thanks in advance.

*********** I used the below code to get the authorization: 

client_id = "my_id"
redirect_uri = "my_redirect"
scopes = "user-read-recently-played" 
show_dialog = "true" 

# Build the request URL
url = f"https://accounts.spotify.com/authorize?client_id={client_id}&response_type=code&redirect_uri={redire...}"

# Make the GET request
response = requests.get(url)

# Print the response
print(response.url)

********* And my code to get the 50 last tracks:

gebruikers_id = '{my_id}'
url = f'https://api.spotify.com/v1/users/{gebruikers_id}/player/recently-played'

parameters = {
'limit': 50
}

headers = {
'Authorization': f'Bearer {access_token}'
}

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

if response.status_code == 200:
print("Verzoek succesvol:")
print(response.json())
else:
print("Fout bij het verzoek:")
print(response.status_code, response.text)

print(response)

*************My errorcode: 

404 {
  "error": {
    "status": 404,
    "message": "Service not found"
  }
}
<Response [404]>

For some reason my link was shortened in the post. To clarify, my full request authorization link was:

f"https://accounts.spotify.com/authorize?client_id={client_id}&response_type=code&redirect_uri={redire...}"

The URL for the endpoint is: https://api.spotify.com/v1/me/player/recently-played

So, without a user ID.

Also, you can only get the recently played tracks from the authenticated user.

Also, you need the code from this Stack Overflow answer for the authorization code flow.

It isn't just one simple get request.
