Making Multiple Instances of Spotify-web-api-js

I am making a React App with the Spotify-web-api-js package, which is a wrapper over the Spotify API.

It can be instantiated and used like this:

let SpotifyWebApi = require('spotify-web-api-js');
let spotifyApi = new SpotifyWebApi();
spotifyApi.setAccessToken("AccessToken")
spotifyApi.getPlaylist("playlistLink")

The access token is required for each user.

In my app, I need 2 instances of the wrapper, one for each user/access-token. But when I make 2 instances, it seems like they are both the same instance.

let SpotifyWebApi = require('spotify-web-api-js');
let spotifyApi1 = new SpotifyWebApi();
let spotifyApi2 = new SpotifyWebApi();

console.log(spotifyApi1.getAccessToken());
console.log(spotifyApi2.getAccessToken());

spotifyApi1.setAccessToken("Hello");
spotifyApi2.setAccessToken("Bye");

console.log(spotifyApi1.getAccessToken());
console.log(spotifyApi2.getAccessToken());

prints:

null
null
Bye
Bye

Where I expected it to print:

null
null
Hello
Bye

The access token in both instances is set to the latest set statement.

Same thing even if I write:

let SpotifyWebApi1 = require('spotify-web-api-js');
let SpotifyWebApi2 = require('spotify-web-api-js');
let spotifyApi1 = new SpotifyWebApi1();
let spotifyApi2 = new SpotifyWebApi2();

I don't know if this is a problem with the wrapper, or my lacking JavaScript skills.

Additional context

I installed the wrapper package using npm. Here is my project. I instantiate the wrappers in /src/Interspot.js and use them in /src/useSpotifyAPI.js
