Create Playlist endpoint returning a 403 error

[egoudet]

I am using the oauth flow with refresh_token and access_token, with the following scopes: 

'user-read-private user-library-read playlist-read-private playlist-modify-private playlist-modify-public playlist-read-collaborative'

I was able to successfully call the endpoint with a curl, then deleted the playlist on the Spotify mac app. I am trying to call it programmatically and keep getting a 403. 

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Post the code where you call it programatically.

Here is the code: https://github.com/goudete/PlaylistGenerator/blob/master/endpoints/playlists/createPlaylists.js#L17

Please let me know if you need additional information.

Thanks,

Enrique

Did you check to see if the request returns a body with an error message?

Also, post the full URL and body data that you are sending.

I think I found the problem: 

I am sending the wrong user id in the query string. Instead of sending the spotify user id, I am sending my own user id.

Thanks for the help!
