Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/sigma67/ytmusicapi/issues/135

Trying to authenticate requests, but when doing YTMusic.setup(filepath=headers_auth.json)
I get
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> NameError: name 'headers_auth' is not defined
I apologize, I'm a newb and just trying to get https://github.com/KoljaWindeler/ytube_music_player to work. I'm using Python 3.9 (64bit).

Any help to point me in the right direction would be appreciated!

Thanks.

It looks to me like you're trying to pass headers_auth.json as a variable. Try wrapping it in some quotes to reference a string, and make sure the file is in your working directory

So
YTMusic.setup(filepath=headers_auth.json)
Becomes
YTMusic.setup(filepath="headers_auth.json")

Yes, you need to wrap in quotes since the filepath is provided as a string.
