Spotify API token not working

Spotify API token not working

?

I have spotify premium, I live in Canada & I'm trying to run the program from an iPhone XR

 

I'm trying to figure out why I'm getting a HTTP 403 token missing error. My code states to authenticate and to get a new token but in order to even test the program in terminal I have to go to token page and request a new one manually. Why is this happening? 

The spotify for developers question forum is dead. I posted this problem 3 days ago and I still haven't gotten a response. I decided to check if the forum was even active and it hasn't been since yesterday. I hope somebody here can help since I see this one is very active;

The authentication for the API token isn't working. When I test it on my code it doesn't go through and it sends back a 403 Error. I started messing around and when I go to the console section myself and pressed get token the error stopped and everything was working as I intended. This is an issue because it states in my code to get a new token automatically so why would I still go out of my way to get one manually? I did post this in the forum 3 days ago but I got ignored, can anybody help me?

You are giving very little information, it is impossible to help you.

Could you tell:

- what are you trying to do

- possible error messages?

Hello, I found this topic by searching the problem I face and I might have the same issue.

 

I am trying to do this  [https://developer.spotify.com/console/put-playlist-followers/] and whenever I paste the url I got from this, I get a blank page with the message "No token provided". Even though the "Try it" button is working perfectly well.

 

Do you know where it could come from ?

 

Thanks,

Victor

I'm trying to get a user's currently playing information. Now that I tried to get the error message, It doesn't appear anymore! I don't know what happened but it's all resolved now. Apologies for the lack of information.

If you actually want people to put their time and energy into responding to your posts, then you need to put some time and energy into explaining your issue. It goes both ways. Merely saying "Spotify API token not working" and including a single question mark in the body is not enough information for anyone to help you, and you should have the common sense to know that. That's why no one initially responded to your post. Did you read the authorization guide? It contains detailed information on how to authorize your app.
