Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/721

I want to make my python script run 24/7 in a serveur cause it scrap Spotify info.

I created a serveur, put my python script on it, I can run it using Putty but it cant show me the url or redirect me to the url for the token (see screenshot ).
My project work fine on my computer and I've made a simplify version.
I've also an error about missing cache file but it dont seem important.

What I get when I run my script.

When I press q.

Here, they ask me for the url that I don't have.

When I enter a wrong url or nothing

import spotipy
from spotipy.oauth2 import SpotifyOAuth
import os
from  pprint import pprint

##define os variables
os.environ["SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID"]="client id"
os.environ["SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET"]="client secret"
os.environ["SPOTIPY_REDIRECT_URI"]="localhost:8080"

scope="user-read-recently-played"

sp = spotipy.Spotify(auth_manager=SpotifyOAuth(scope=scope))


historique=sp.current_user_recently_played(limit=50,after=None,before=None) #!THIS LINE BUG
pprint(historique)

My code simplifed

Thanks for your help

(ps : it's the first time I post on github)

Never publicly share your client secret. Go to the Spotify dashboard and change it immediately. Also, please don't post screenshots of your code; post it as text.

Usually above "Enter the URL..." there should be a link that you can copy from the program output to a browser on a different machine. Here I can't see anything and something tells me that your environment is only displaying the last line. Can you try and see if there are other logs that you didn't copy here?

Ha I think I know, since you are in a headless browser (no UI), you need to set open_browser=False, as in this example:

github.com/plamere/spotipy@87fe473672/examples/headless.py (L6)

This is explained here in the FAQ https://github.com/plamere/spotipy/blob/master/FAQ.md#how-do-i-obtain-authorization-in-a-headlessbrowserless-environment
