λ python.exe control_spotify.py resume
✅ Session loaded successfully using from_cookies method.
[17:39:52] Failed to fetch secrets: name 'response' is not defined. Falling back to default secret.
❌ An error occurred: Could not GET https://open.spotify.com/api/token. Status Code: 400

I tried making a control script and run it, but im getting this error

Gemini says that the Api method might be outdated is this correct?

The line resp = self.client.get(...) is where your computer sends the request to Spotify's server. The server then responds with the 400 Bad Request error, which the next line catches and displays to you.

Why It Fails

The request fails because the query parameters are outdated. The library is sending a request with keys like "reason": "init" and "productType": "web-player". Spotify has updated its security and internal API, so it no longer accepts requests in this format.

....

import sys
import json # Import Python's built-in JSON library
from spotapi import Config, Login, Player, NoopLogger

# --- Configuration ---
if len(sys.argv) < 2:
    print("Error: No command provided. Use 'resume', 'pause', 'next', or 'prev'.")
    sys.exit(1)

command = sys.argv[1].lower()
session_file = "my_session.json"

# --- Main Script ---
try:
    # 1. Setup the configuration
    config = Config(logger=NoopLogger())

    # 2. Manually load the session data from the JSON file
    with open(session_file, 'r') as f:
        session_data = json.load(f)
    
    # 3. Log in using the from_cookies method, which is more direct
    login_session = Login.from_cookies(session_data, config)
    print("✅ Session loaded successfully using from_cookies method.")

    # 4. Initialize the Player
    player = Player(login_session)
    print(f"✅ Player connected. Running command: {command}")

    # 5. Execute the command
    if command == "next":
        player.skip_next()
    elif command == "prev":
        player.skip_prev()
    elif command == "pause":
        player.pause()
    elif command == "resume":
        player.resume()
    else:
        print(f"Unknown command: {command}")

    print(f"🚀 Command '{command}' executed successfully.")

except Exception as e:
    print(f"❌ An error occurred: {e}")

The TOTP Version changed to 32 and there is a new totp secret most likely. Would need help with that.

I used an AHK (autohotkey) script instead, it's much better, requires no dependencies and i can use it on my stream deck..
spotify_play_pause.ahk

ControlSend, , "{Media_Play_Pause}", ahk_exe Spotify.exe

OP, please delete this thread,, no longer needed and don't want it showing on my profile !
