Invalid client

[The-Spartan]

Installed via pip install spotify_to_ytmusic, command is spotify_to_ytmusic all [user]

spotify_to_ytmusic setup works flawlessly. Running ytmusicapi 1,4,1m changing to 1.4.0 does not alleviate the issue

Client ID and secrets are correct as have re-entered them with re-rolled creds.

any ideas?

It's clearly a spotify problem, check your credentials

[The-Spartan]

It is a spotify issue, however the credentials are correct. I am using credentials that worked less than a week ago, remade the application in the dev platform, rotated the secret and even tried another spotify account dev app. All give the same issue.

It is clear that this is the cause of the issue:

``Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\Chris\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\spotipy\oauth2.py", line 588, in refresh_access_token response.raise_for_status() File "C:\Users\Chris\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\requests\models.py", line 1021, in raise_for_status raise HTTPError(http_error_msg, response=self) requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 400 Client Error: Bad Request for url: https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token```

Trying on another device entirely (installing on laptop) it works fine with the same settings. What would be a culprit for it failing on the PC? i have tried fully uninstalling and reinstalling spotify_to_ytmusic etc on the PC to no avail.

Thanks for the app and your help

[The-Spartan]

Found a way to consistently reproduce the issue:

1. Setup spotify_to_ytmusic with both option
2. use the tool successfully
3. setup again with different account credentials (different user to transfer over)
4. fails (error above)

reinstalling spotipy, spotify_to_ytmusic etc does not work. Do you happen to know if there is some weird caching going on?

Thanks

I ran into the same issue, looking at the code I did find some cache related code.

Fixed the issue by removing the ~/.cache/spotify_to_ytmusic directory and running the setup process again.

Hope that helps ✌️

Hi, this is a very tricky issue, according to the developer forum here: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-for-Developers/INVALID-CLIENT-Invalid-redirect-URI/td-p/5228936 to resolve the redirect URI issue, you'll need to add http://localhost in your sportify dashboard settings in Redirect URIs section, by default it's only https://open.spotify.com/, which does not apply to our case

@sigma67 I would suggest adding this in README

[sigma67]

It's literally right there in the README
