[Spotify Web API] Can't read private playlists

[catarmy]

I'm attempting to create my own project with just the Python requests module, and I'm pretty sure I put the scope thing in the right place...

response = requests.post(
        url='https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token',
        data={
            'grant_type':'client_credentials',
            'client_id': client_id,
            'client_secret': client_secret,
            'scope': 'playlist-read-private'
            },
        headers={ 'Content-Type':'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' },
    ).json()

However, I'm only able to access my public playlists. What am I doing wrong? Is there another place I have to put the scope field?

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.

I have the same query:

With my own credentials, I am unable to access my private playlists. Any solution?

You'll need to use the Authorization Scope  playlist-read-private to access private playlists.
