I made a Python program that transfers music from YouTube playlists to your Spotify account and I wanted to turn it into a web app with a simple UI so that people could log into their yt/spotify accounts without having to run the program from the command line. I used Flask to make the interface, and have it working when I manually input the login info in my YouTubetoSpotify file, and now I am working on implementing Oauth2 on top of the UI so that when a user clicks one of the login buttons, it'll direct them to the corresponding authentication page (right now I'm just working on the Spotify login).

After some debugging, it seems that the client id and secret are properly obtained, but when they are used to get the token (in the getToken function in flask_spotify_auth), the post request returns an error. Here is the full error message, as well as all of my files.

{'error': 'invalid_client'}

The response that you print is

{'error': 'invalid_client'}

It seems that you have an error when authenticating to the spotify API. Your error KeyError: 'access_token', comes from that. There is indeed no access_token key in the response.

You have to adapt your handleToken method to handle the different errors codes.

They are all described here

Here is a description of the error invalid_client

Since it's a post request. Your body variable should be passed in the data attribute instead params

Because params will send your body as URL’s query string

post = requests.post(SPOTIFY_URL_TOKEN, data=body, headers=headers)

PS : don't post your CLIENT_ID or CLIENT_SECRETon SO these are private information.
