Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/925

Describe the bug
When requesting a show list using show_episodes the URI that is used seems to be;
https://api.spotify.com/v1/shows/47Xw6QagBN5lTAp1Cyoyye/episodes/?limit=50&offset=0

However if the same request is done with a curl the URI used is;
https://api.spotify.com/v1/shows/47Xw6QagBN5lTAp1Cyoyye/episodes?offset=0&limit=20

NOTE: spotipy adds and addtional / after episodes, which breaks the URI and results in a 404

CURL Command

curl -X "GET" "https://api.spotify.com/v1/shows/47Xw6QagBN5lTAp1Cyoyye/episodes" -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

Python Code

import spotipy
from spotipy.oauth2 import SpotifyClientCredentials

uri = 'spotify:show:47Xw6QagBN5lTAp1Cyoyye'
spotify = spotipy.Spotify(client_credentials_manager=SpotifyClientCredentials())

results = spotify.show_episodes(uri)

Expected behavior
As per description above

Output From Python

I've spun up my own branch and removed the /, however the error still persists. This has got me really puzzled.

Not quite sure why, but if you use SpotifyOAuth (no scopes) instead of SpotifyClientCredentials, it seems to work just fine. So my guess is that this is a problem on Spotifys side.

Also, I made an interesting discovery: when I request a token in the Spotify Developer Console, it asks for the "user-read-playback-position" scope, but it seems to work just fine without scopes. The (obvious) difference is a missing playback position for each episode. Maybe Spotify has restricted access to this endpoint only because of this optional scope, but that's just a theory.

And where did you get your token when using cURL?

The token was generated on the spotify developer console.
