Hey guys, I'm trying to use the library "spotify-web-api-node" the function "getMe"  and when I use my token accountant (Spotify developer) it works but when the other accountant doesn't work and returns error 403.

class User{
    login(req, res){
        res.redirect(spotifyApi.createAuthorizeURL(scopes));
    };
      
    callback(req, res){
        const error = req.query.error;
        const code = req.query.code;
        const state = req.query.state;
      
        if (error) {
          console.error('Callback Error:', error);
          res.send(`Callback Error: ${error}`);
          return;
        }
      
        spotifyApi
          .authorizationCodeGrant(code)
          .then(data => {
            const access_token = data.body['access_token'];
            const refresh_token = data.body['refresh_token'];
            const expires_in = data.body['expires_in'];
      
            spotifyApi.setAccessToken(access_token);
            spotifyApi.setRefreshToken(refresh_token);
      
            console.log('access_token:', access_token);
            console.log('refresh_token:', refresh_token);
      
            console.log(
              `Sucessfully retreived access token. Expires in ${expires_in} s.`
            );
            res.send('Success! You can now close the window.');
      
            setInterval(async () => {
              const data = await spotifyApi.refreshAccessToken();
              const access_token = data.body['access_token'];
      
              console.log('The access token has been refreshed!');
              console.log('access_token:', access_token);
              spotifyApi.setAccessToken(access_token);
            }, expires_in / 2 * 1000);
          })
          .catch(error => {
            console.error('Error getting Tokens:', error);
            res.send(`Error getting Tokens: ${error}`);
          });
      };

      
   async verifyUser(req, res){
    
    
    //const token = spotifyApi.getAccessToken();
    //res.json(spotifyApi.getAccessToken())
        
   await spotifyApi.getMe()
    .then(function(data) {
      res.json({"Some information about the authenticated user": data.body});
    }, function(err) {
        res.json({'Something went wrong!': err});
    });
     }
}

module.exports = new User();
