Spotify Oauth2 Docs - Client Credential Flow
I asked a similar question, and I was able to get the code running in google apps script (javascript). I am using Client Credential Flow. However, I tried to recreate this code in Nodejs. When running this code, I receive a server error.
error: "server_error"This is the problem code in Nodejs
const defaultConfig = {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Accept': 'application/json',
// this encodes the app_id and api_key into a base64 string like the documentation states
'Authorization': `Basic ${btoa(spotify.API_ID + ':' + spotify.API_KEY)}`
},
body: JSON.stringify({
'grant_type': 'client_credentials',
})
};
// this function is wrapped in a list titled, "apiSettings" with other functions. I just included the authorization function here:
const apiSettings = {
getSpotifyAuthorizeToken: async () => {
const endpoint = "https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token";
return await (await fetch(endpoint, defaultConfig)).json();
},
};I got this similar code to work in google apps script with no problems.
Could the server error be a result of me running Nodejs on a "localhost:xxxx"? The documentation states that, "The Client Credentials flow is used in server-to-server authentication."
if this is not the case, could you provide a working

From your previous question, I would like to propose the following sample scripts.
If you want to convert the script of this answer to Node.js and node-fetch, how about the following script?
const spotify = { API_ID: "API_ID", API_KEY: "API_KEY" }; // Please set your client ID and client secret.
const buf = Buffer.from(spotify.API_ID + ":" + spotify.API_KEY);
const para = new URLSearchParams();
para.append("grant_type", "client_credentials");
const defaultConfig = {
method: "POST",
headers: { Authorization: `Basic ${buf.toString("base64")}` },
body: para,
};
const apiSettings = {
getSpotifyAuthorizeToken: async () => {
const endpoint = "https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token";
return await (await fetch(endpoint, defaultConfig)).json();
},
};
