My Question or Issue
I'm trying to request an access token using the /token endpoint with python requests library but keep receiving this error: {'error': 'invalid_grant', 'error_description': 'Invalid authorization code'}. Here's a snippet of my code:
import os
import base64
import requests
client_id = os.environ.get('CLIENT_ID')
client_secret = os.environ.get('CLIENT_SECRET')
# taking spotify application variables and base64 encoding
credentials = client_id + ':' + client_secret
credentials_bytes = credentials.encode('utf-8')
credentials_encoded = base64.b64encode(credentials_bytes)
authorization = credentials_encoded.decode('utf-8')
def token_request(code,redirect_uri):
headers = {
"Content-Type":"application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
"Authorization": f'Basic {authorization}'
}
body = {
"grant_type":"authorization_code",
"code":code,
"redirect_uri":f'{redirect_uri}'
}
response = requests.post(
'https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token',
data=body,
headers=headers
)
token = response.json()
return token
I'm not sure what issue might to give me this error because I sent the same data through cURL and received an expected response.
Example cURL:
curl -H "Authorization: Basic *<base64 encoded client_id:client_secret>*" -d grant_type=authorization_code -d code=code_from_user_authorization -d redirect_uri=http://my_redirect_uri https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token
