Bad request

Hi there,

I’m trying to make a request, but I really don’t get what I’m doing wrong, error messages like shown below keep showing up:

Something went wrong on auth! { [WebapiError: Bad Request] name: 'WebapiError', message: 'Bad Request', statusCode: 400 }

and

Something went wrong on playlists! { [WebapiError: Unauthorized] name: 'WebapiError', message: 'Unauthorized', statusCode: 401 }

This afternoon I got it working once, but now the access token is expired or something I guess? But when I’ll run the refresh function you posted in the authorization section I’ll get:

Could not refresh access token { [WebapiError: Bad Request] name: 'WebapiError', message: 'Bad Request', statusCode: 400 }

How can I debug this? What can I do? If it helps, here is my SpotifyClient class:

import SpotifyWebApi from 'spotify-web-api-node';

class SpotifyClient {
  constructor(username) {
    this.username = username;

    this.spotifyApi = new SpotifyWebApi({
      clientId : 'CLIENT_ID',
      clientSecret : 'CLIENT_SECRET',
      redirectUri : 'http://localhost:6001/cv',
      accessToken : 'HERE_WAS_THE_CODE'
    });

    // this.setAuthorization();
    this.refreshAuthorization();
  }

  setAuthorization() {
    const scopes = ['user-read-private', 'user-read-email'];
    const state = 't3st';

    const authorizeURL = this.spotifyApi.createAuthorizeURL(scopes, state);
    console.log(authorizeURL);

    const code = 'HERE_WAS_THE_CODE_FROM_AUTH_URL';

    this.spotifyApi.authorizationCodeGrant(code)
      .then(function(data) {
        console.log('The token expires in ' + data.body['expires_in']);
        console.log('The access token is ' + data.body['access_token']);
        console.log('The refresh token is ' + data.body['refresh_token']);

        // Set the access token on the API object to use it in later calls
        this.spotifyApi.setAccessToken(data.body['access_token']);
        this.spotifyApi.setRefreshToken(data.body['refresh_token']);
      }, function(err) {
        console.log('Something went wrong on auth!', err);
      });
  }

  refreshAuthorization() {
    this.spotifyApi.refreshAccessToken()
      .then(function(data) {
        console.log('The access token has been refreshed!');

        // Save the access token so that it's used in future calls
        this.spotifyApi.setAccessToken(data.body['access_token']);
      }, function(err) {
        console.log('Could not refresh access token', err);
      });
  }

  getPlaylistById(callback) {
    console.info('spotify client get');

    this.spotifyApi.getPlaylist(this.username, '2tj5TA5I1QySyHI3YdpXYj')
      .then(function(data) {
        // console.log('Some information about this playlist', data.body);
        console.info('spotify client did return');
        // return data.body;

        callback(null, data.body);
      }, function(err) {
        console.log('Something went wrong on playlists!', err);
      });
  }
}

export default SpotifyClient;

@tetreault No problem. We’ve all been there… several times a week. Computer is a weird science. Sometimes I would like to go and grow potatoes instead.

I had the same problem.

I couldn’t solve it within this wrapper. Now i use https://github.com/jaredhanson/passport-github to authenticate. If you want some sample code feel free to contact me.
