Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/kokarare1212/librespot-python/issues/195

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm running your library on a server for multiple users.
Right now I'm using my own Spotify credentials for all users.
When a user decides to connect their account, instead of storing their credentials I'd like to store their access token (for security reasons) and use it to create each user's session.

Describe the solution you'd like

Session.Builder().token(<USER_TOKEN>)

Perhaps this should work.

session = Session.Builder() \
    .user_pass("<email address>", "<password>") \
    .create()

stored_credentials = session.stored()
session2 = Session.Builder().stored(stored_credentials).create()

@kokarare1212 But what if I don't want to use any users' emails or passwords?
Is it possible to login user via their token?

It is necessary for the first login, but from the next time onward, such a thing can be done by obtaining something like a token in session.stored and passing it as an argument to Session.Builder.stored, as in the above code.

I can't get it to work. Could you please explain to me how I could use the following credentials to create a session?

{'access_token': 'BQAHHtai9r6xIHb2SPVYUCMG7XCoDbzhZGX0Qz-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-uYj6g41R_PFQGMru5b60ZVkPiW83Dutw8VVRd35BAEJB0mRfBaeFU8aEhiDxF8Toy5gVI7eoaC_6Cn36So
-Ztx6me1SBMe_BMu6i_FBhUfJyTWTyjINX5whrTnwgqRcDlUu6ps8tl0iv_uwYA1FjRXjrnZmLXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
'token_type': 'Bearer',
'expires_in': 3600,
'refresh_token': 'AQBLAs-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-BMfRqEqZaAtZLzaRAmGny1jnseoOSOD_tDDB5GbwERZDYvqTMz26HMmDA32Rpw3UmEz3lhXk7z3NUAMjsxkr_yNLgTb273HrDdrxc3NwI',
'scope': 'user-library-read',
'expires_at': 1748377911}

I tried:

session = Session.Builder()

session.login_credentials = Authentication.LoginCredentials(
typ=Authentication.AUTHENTICATION_SPOTIFY_TOKEN,
username=SPOTIPY_CLIENT_USERNAME, # The username I specified for receiving the credentials.
auth_data=b'access_token'
)

session = session.create()

I obtained the credentials using spotipy.

@prime-rue You probably cannot use Web API tokens.

Okay, thank you for your quick reply. Are there any other methods beside zeroconf, which I can use to login individual users?

Currently, you can log in using Zeroconf or by obtaining an authentication file using another librespot, but the latter cannot be supported here.
