Originally created by @MrBuddyCasino on GitHub (Jan 8, 2025).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/issues/1436

Description

Running examples/play.rs with a freshly created token gives an "Error connecting: Permission denied { Login failed with reason: Bad credentials }" message.

Version

0.6.0

How to reproduce

Run the example player with your token and some track ID.
A token can be obtained by making an example app in the developer portal and calling:

curl -X POST "https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
     -d "grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=<your-id>&client_secret=<your-secret>"

Log

Not sure how --verbose applies to the example player. Console says:

Connecting...
Error connecting: Permission denied { Login failed with reason: Bad credentials }

Host (what you are running librespot on):

  • OS: MacOS
  • Platform: Intel

Additional Information

I also tried if Credentials::with_password() instead of ::with_access_token() would work, but same error.

I also tried latest dev branch but I got "HostUnreachable, message: "No route to host"":

First up, I don't think we support the client credentials flow. I don't think it makes much sense for librespot. I've never tested it, I've no idea if it works. Good luck if that's really your intention/

If you just wanted to get a valid token then our access token documentation specifies some ways to obtain a valid token. If you chose the second way, then you'll need to use the auth code flow.

You can also get a token using https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/blob/dev/examples/get_token.rs .

I can think of no reason the dev branch would give you a "No route to host" error, I would guess that's a problem in your network. There's also nothing in latest dev that should impact basic session login.

Thanks for the detailed reply, and sorry for wasting your time - I used the token from https://open.spotify.com/get_access_token and that did the trick. Feel free to close this!
