Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/jwilsson/spotify-web-api-php/issues/76

I followed the most basic login steps, no user required

$session = new Session('code', 'pass');
$scopes = array(
			'playlist-read-private',
			'user-read-private'
			);
$session->requestCredentialsToken($scopes);

$this->token = $session->getAccessToken();
$this->refreshToken = $session->getRefreshToken();

die(var_dump($this->refreshToken)); <---- empty

I'm able to get an auth token and it works fine, but the refresh token is empty. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi!
You're not doing anything wrong, the Client Credentials Flow doesn't provide you with refresh tokens, I don't why exactly but I think it's because you're only authenticating the app and not a user.

Hope this helps!
