I'm starting to code a project based on the spotify API in Python, using the Spotipy module. This is my code

import spotipy
from spotipy.oauth2 import SpotifyOAuth
import requests as rq

SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID="..."
SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET="..."
SPOTIPY_REDIRECT_URI="http://127.0.0.1:9090"
SCOPE = "playlist-read-private%20user-read-email"


sp = spotipy.Spotify(auth_manager=SpotifyOAuth(client_id=SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID, client_secret=SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET, redirect_uri=SPOTIPY_REDIRECT_URI, scope=SCOPE))


user_playlists = sp.current_user_playlists()


for i in user_playlists["items"]:
    print(i["name"])

So this code requires a user to grant permission to the app to see its playlists. The problem I'm having is that once I login with an account and grant permission, I can't find any way to change the user. Any clue how to do so? Thanks in advance

When you execute this code you will find that a new cache file will be created wherever the file of your code is. The filename would be something like ".cache-'username' ". This cache file contains the access token you get. If you want to change the account, the simplest way would be deleting the file and re-running the code and logging with the different user account.

Note - You have to be careful to login with the same account which you mention in the code otherwise the access token would be of no use.

Hope you find this useful.

  • Thanks! That was what I was looking for. As for the access token, the authentication type I'm using doesn't require it. – manutorrente Aug 19 '21 at 20:25
