I am getting the above error while trying to set my own access_token:
const express = require('express');
const router = express.Router();
const path = require('path');
const spotify = require("../spotify/spotify")
const spotifyApi = require('spotify-web-api-node');
router.get('/displayName', async (req, res) => {
try {
// Get the access token from the cookie
const access_token = req.cookies.access_token;
// Set the access token in the Spotify API client
spotifyApi.setAccessToken(access_token);
// Use Spotify API client to get user data
const data = await spotifyApi.getMe();
const displayName = data.body.display_name;
// Display "Hello 'username'" on page
const greeting = `<p>Hello ${displayName}!</p>`;
res.send(greeting);
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
res.status(500).send('Internal Server Error');
}
});
module.exports = router;
On my server logs, I get:
TypeError: spotifyApi.setAccessToken is not a function
According to the documentation I can use this function to set my own access token
I am successfully able to get access_token using:
async function getAccessToken(clientId,clientSecret) {
let spotifyApiConfig = {
url: 'https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token',
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Authorization': 'Basic ' + (new Buffer.from(clientId + ':' + clientSecret).toString('base64'))
},
params: {grant_type: 'client_credentials'}
}
const response = await axios(spotifyApiConfig);
console.log(respone.data);
access_token = response.data.access_token;
return response.data.access_token
};
What am I missing here? Is there something I am doing wrong?
