"grant_type parameter is missing": Spotify API PKCE OAuth Flow Troubles
Use querystring npm package to parse the data since we're using application/x-www-form-urlencoded in the header
And change the grant_type to grant_type: "client_credentials"
var querystring = require('querystring');
const headers = {
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
}
};
let data = {
grant_type: "client_credentials",
code: data.code,
redirectUri: "http://localhost:8000/callback",
client_id: your_client_id,
client_secret: your_client_secret,
};
we use query.stringify() for the data because the content type is application/x-www-form-urlencoded also don't use params since its a post request
axios
.post(
"https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token",
querystring.stringify(data),
headers
)
.then((response) => {
console.log(response);
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log(error);
});
I've tried every method I was able to find on the internet, nothing seemed to be working, but after a few hours, this succeeded:
const headers = {
Authorization:
'Basic ' +
new Buffer(CLIENT_ID + ':' + CLIENT_SECRET).toString('base64'),
}
const { data } = await axios.post(
'https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token',
'grant_type=client_credentials',
headers: { headers },
)
this.token = data.access_token
After this, you can simply use any endpoint as seen in the Spotify API examples.
