Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/332

I'm using spotipy to fetch albums but I keep having:
spotipy.client.SpotifyException: http status: 401, code:-1 - https://api.spotify.com/v1/album/1zCNrbPpz5OLSr6mSpPdKm: Invalid access token

Installing the package from the master branch, I already:

have my spotipy_client_id and spotipy_client_secret as env var
added my callback url to my apps dashboard and set the same url as a redirect_uri
called prompt_for_user_token with my callback url, user and scope
on my callbback, retrieved the code and instanciated the spotify client object with it

Any clue what I missed?
Does it still work with the current state of the api or is no longer maintained?

Hi @belinhacbr, @rashad,

The repo is maintained again and a fresh version has just been released:

pip install spotipy --upgrade

Can you still reproduce this? If yes, please do provide some code
