spotify API get token - raw_input was called, but this frontend does not support input requests.

[AlexSantiago]

hello everyone, I'm trying use spotify's api to analyse my music data, but i'm receiving a error during authentication, specifically when I try get the token, above my code.

Is it a databricks bug?

pip install spotipy

from spotipy.oauth2 import SpotifyOAuth

from spotipy.oauth2 import SpotifyClientCredentials

import spotipy

import spotipy.util as util

sp = spotipy.oauth2.SpotifyOAuth(client_id='client_id

                ,client_secret='client_secret

                ,redirect_uri='http://localhost:8080/callback/'

                ,requests_timeout=5, open_browser=False)

sp.get_access_token()

error:

StdinNotImplementedError: raw_input was called, but this frontend does not support input requests.

The redirect uri seems to point to localhost?

That doesnt seem right

Hello Everyone,

It sounds like you're encountering an issue with user input during the authentication process with Spotify's API. The error "raw_input was called, but this frontend does not support input requests" often indicates that the environment you're using doesn't support interactive input, which is common in environments like Databricks. To resolve this, you might need to modify your authentication flow to use non-interactive methods, such as setting environment variables or using a different authentication library. For an alternative approach, I recommend looking into Jailbreak Spotify, which can provide streamlined methods for accessing Spotify's API without these interactive input challenges....Grateful!

Best of Luck!!

When working with the Spotify API and dealing with authentication issues, especially around token generation, it's important to ensure you're following the correct OAuth flow. Double-check your backend setup for token handling and make sure the raw input call matches the expected format. If you're looking for additional ways to access Spotify, you might also explore Spotify Premium PC, which can be found here.

When using the Spotify API and encountering authentication issues, particularly with token generation, it's crucial to follow the correct OAuth flow. Verify that your backend is properly set up for token handling and ensure that the raw input call adheres to the expected format. Additionally, if you’re seeking alternative ways to access Spotify, consider exploring Spotify Premium for PC, which you can find here.
