Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a way to get this field?
spotipy can only return fields documented on the Spotify web API https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/
How to use spotipy in an API?
Check out this example Flask app
Incorrect user
Error:
- You get
You cannot create a playlist for another user - You get
You cannot remove tracks from a playlist you don't own
Solution:
- Verify that you are signed in with the correct account on https://spotify.com
- Remove your current token:
rm .cache-{userid} - Request a new token by adding
show_dialog=Truetospotipy.Spotify(auth_manager=SpotifyOAuth(show_dialog=True)) - Check that
spotipy.me()shows the correct user id
Why do I get 401 Unauthorized?
Error:
spotipy.exceptions.SpotifyException: http status: 401, code:-1 - https://api.spotify.com/v1/
Unauthorized.
Solution:
- You are likely missing a scope when requesting the endpoint, check https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/using-scopes/
Search doesn't find some tracks
Problem: you can see a track on the Spotify app but searching for it using the API doesn't find it.
Solution: by default search("abba") works in the US market.
To search for in your current country, the country indicator
must be specified: search("abba", market="DE").
How do I obtain authorization in a headless/browserless environment?
If you cannot open a browser, set open_browser=False when instantiating SpotifyOAuth or SpotifyPKCE. You will be
prompted to open the authorization URI manually.
See the headless auth example.
