wrong scope specified in web API documentation

[flomeinecke]

on

https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/#category-follow

the scope for "Get User's Followed Artists" that is called for is "user-follow-modify".

that is strange as "get followed artists" should only require read privileges.

and sure enough, "user-follow-modify" scope raises an insufficient scope error, while "user-follow-read" does not, and works as would be expected.

please fix the documentation in regard to this issue.

kindly,

flo

Hey @flomeinecke, thanks for your post here about the documentation!

Sounds like the teams might have made a mistake here. Great detective work! The right folks are keeping an eye out on this board for any issues, questions and other remarks about Spotify APIs/SDKs. Let's hope they'll get this fixed soon! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Have a great day,

Hubo
