You need to post an example that reproduces this error.

Can't reproduce. Please provide a fully self-contained script that I and copy and run.

JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

This indicates that when attempting to decode the string into a json object, a parsing error occurred at the very beginning of the string. This is likely because the string is completely empty.

Maybe related to #570 (the error is raised in oauth2.py).

Can you reproduce this error reliably in your code? JSONDecodeError has a doc parameter which contains the string that couldn't be decoded.

@srprinz we would need a minimal working example and a full stack trace to understand where the error exactly comes from. Also when creating this bug report you've skipped providing more information such as your environment:

**Describe the bug**
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

**Your code**
Share a complete minimal working example.

**Expected behavior**
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

**Output**
Paste and format errors (with complete stacktrace) or logs. Make sure to remove sensitive information.

**Environment:**
 - OS: [e.g. Windows, Mac]
 - Python version [e.g. 3.7.0]
 - spotipy version [e.g. 2.12.0]
 - your IDE (if using any) [e.g. PyCharm, Jupyter Notebook IDE, Google Colab]

**Additional context**
Add any other context about the problem here.

please update your initial post if possible
