Hello,
Was wondering if you could supply an example on returning the current track.

Here's what i'm currently trying out:

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$session = new SpotifyWebAPI\Session(
    'xxxxxxxxBLURRED_OUT_HERExxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
    'xxxxxxxxBLURRED_OUT_HERExxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
    'xxxxxxxxBLURRED_OUT_HERExxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
);

$api = new SpotifyWebAPI\SpotifyWebAPI();

if (isset($_GET['code'])) {
    $session->requestAccessToken($_GET['code']);
    $api->setAccessToken($session->getAccessToken());

    $getMyCurrentTrack = $api->getMyCurrentTrack();

} else {
    $options = [
        'scope' => [
            'user-read-email',
        ],
    ];

    header('Location: ' . $session->getAuthorizeUrl($options));
    die();
}
?>

This sadly does not work and i get this error returned:

Fatal error: Uncaught SpotifyWebAPI\SpotifyWebAPIException: Permissions missing in /home/lasbian/tools/spotify/vendor/jwilsson/spotify-web-api-php/src/Request.php:38 Stack trace: #0 /home/lasbian/tools/spotify/vendor/jwilsson/spotify-web-api-php/src/Request.php(222): SpotifyWebAPI\Request->parseBody(Object(stdClass), 401) #1 /home/lasbian/tools/spotify/vendor/jwilsson/spotify-web-api-php/src/Request.php(107): SpotifyWebAPI\Request->send('GET', 'https://api.spo...', '', Array) #2 /home/lasbian/tools/spotify/vendor/jwilsson/spotify-web-api-php/src/SpotifyWebAPI.php(794): SpotifyWebAPI\Request->api('GET', '/v1/me/player/c...', Array, Array) #3 /home/lasbian/tools/spotify/index.php(17): SpotifyWebAPI\SpotifyWebAPI->getMyCurrentTrack() #4 {main} thrown in /home/lasbian/tools/spotify/vendor/jwilsson/spotify-web-api-php/src/Request.php on line 38

All the best,

Lasse

Hi!
Sure thing, I'll add an example.

But I think your problem is due to some missing scopes, add these two along withuser-read-email and I think it'll work better:

$options = [
    'scope' => [
        'user-read-email',
        'user-read-currently-playing',
        'user-read-playback-state',
    ],
];
