how do i get bearer token on this new trash

[caracall]

i'm trying to get my bearer token for a lua i'm making that requires your bearer token to read what song you're listening to and print it, where the **bleep** do i find the button to get it with the user-read-currently-playing flag

You can use the Network tab of the Developer tools of the browser on your desktop for this.

Sorry I didn't find this earlier, but I've found a 2 years old Spotify API wrapper in LUA: https://hg.sr.ht/~cloudninja/lua-spotify/browse/Spotify.lua?rev=tip

You have to use that to get a valid access token for now on.

You can get a Client ID and Client Secret at the Dashboard section of dev.spotify.com. You also have to fill in a redirect URI add the dashboard your created app (and in your code).

Note: I'm not familiar with Lua, and haven't tested it myself.

Addition: I had Chat-GPT write instructions on how to use the wrapper. You can read them here.

I recommend to save the code of the wrapper in a separate file.
