[Desktop][Python] Cant get request to current track Api (maybe dublicate post)

[tips111]

Hello,
my proplem is if I run the code/call the function I get a 404 error but the structur of the api is correct, bc i can call other things with the token + "url". Can somebody help me or has the same issue ?

Code:

def get_current_track(token😞

    url = "https://api.spotify.com/v1/me/player/currently-playing"

    headers = get_auth_header(token)

    query = "?market=DE"

    query_url = url + query

    result = get(query_url, headers=headers)

    json_result = result.json()

    return json_result

Thank you

Code of how you get an access token is missing.

[tips111]

client_id = os.getenv("CLIENT_ID")

client_secret = os.getenv("CLIENT_SECRET")

def get_token():

    auth_string = client_id + ":" + client_secret

    auth_bytes = auth_string.encode("utf-8")

    auth_base64 = str(base64.b64encode(auth_bytes), "utf-8")

    url = "https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token"

    headers = {

        "Authorization": "Basic " + auth_base64,

        "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

    }

    data = {"grant_type": "client_credentials"}

    result = post(url, headers=headers, data=data)

    json_result = json.loads(result.content)

    token = json_result["access_token"]

    return token

def get_auth_header(token😞

    return {"Authorization": "Bearer " + token}

here you go.

Since the Client Credentials flow does not include authorization, only endpoints that do not access user information can be accessed. Therefore, in this case, you should use a different Authorization method that lets you log in.

And what Authorization should I use, that it works fine ?
