Hi all,

Apologies if this ends up being a silly question, but Im having trouble receiving a token and getting a .cache file.

All Environmental variables seem to be good and everything on the developer portal looks OK.

the error Im receiving is:

File "/home/pi/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/spotipy/client.py", line 1633, in devices
return self._get("me/player/devices")
File "/home/pi/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/spotipy/client.py", line 291, in _get
return self._internal_call("GET", url, payload, kwargs)
File "/home/pi/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/spotipy/client.py", line 221, in _internal_call
headers = self._auth_headers()
File "/home/pi/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/spotipy/client.py", line 212, in _auth_headers
token = self.auth_manager.get_access_token(as_dict=False)
File "/home/pi/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/spotipy/oauth2.py", line 508, in get_access_token
error_description=error_payload['error_description'])
spotipy.oauth2.SpotifyOauthError: error: invalid_request, error_description: code_verifier required

any thoughts would be welcomed.

thanks

There's no way anyone can answer your question if you don't post any of your code.

Strange, that appears to be a call to SpotifyOAuth.get_access_token, but code_verifier is part of the SpotifyPKCE flow. Unless you know that those two are being combined (which would cause a problem), that's all I can say without the code that triggered the error.
