Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/22

It seems there's no way to remove a track from a playlist (https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/remove-tracks-playlist/) which is unfortunate, though maybe I missed a call. Will try to implement this weekend...

Hi Simon - you are right. It hasn't been implemented yet, its a brand new
feature of the API and I haven't updated the library yet.

I'm currently writing a code to delete specific tracks out of a Spotify Playlist I created, and thus that I own. But somehow I am having Issues with the token, although I am using the 'playlist-modify-public' token which should allow me to delete tracks in my own playlists.
Would greatly appreciate your help :)

I get this error message by the link in the error code:
{
"error": {
"status": 401,
"message": "No token provided"
}
}

My Code:
Spotipy_delete_tracks.txt

@MatthiasHerp if your playlist is private, use the scope playlist-modify-private

@stephanebruckert commented on GitHub (Apr 4, 2020): @MatthiasHerp if your playlist is private, use the scope `playlist-modify-private`

Yes, I checked that, I put it privat and changed the scope as you suggested, and put it back public and used the public scope

Hmm the error is not a 401 but an 403 and says "You cannot remove tracks from a playlist you don't own.".

Can you make sure your token has the same owner as your playlist?

Ideally please feel free to create a new issue so other people can see it and potentially help you

Okay, I checked it but somehow it doesn't work.
I made the playlist private and I am able to get the track names so the token should be valid.
I'll make a new issue
