Experiencing a similar issue. Did you find the solution?

Mee too, No idea

Hi everyone,

 

I was able to replicate the issue, but only when using Client Credentials. When I switch to user authorization, I receive a preview URL.

 

In short: a user must be logged in to access or provide track previews.

 

Hope this helps!
