Im working with the spotify api. Found a tutorial since ive never worked with api's before. I did exactly as he did but im getting errors. Tutorial: [this video] part im stuck on is at 12:30 When i run this: from dotenv import load_dotenv import os import base64 import requests from requests import post import json load_dotenv() clientID = os.getenv("CLIENT_ID") clientSecret = os.getenv("CLIENT_SECRET") def get_token(): auth_string = str(clientID) + ':' + str(clientSecret) auth_bytes = auth_string.encode("utf-8") auth_base64 = str(base64.b64encode(auth_bytes), "utf-8") url = " [LINK] " headers = { "Authorization" : "Basic" + auth_base64, "Content-Type" : "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" } data
