Spotify Api Ajax Post request to get token using the 'ajax-request' node package

I'm trying to receive a token from the Spotify api to allow me to search the api and such for songs and other information.

On my sever application index.js I start by requiring the package:

var request = require('ajax-request');

Later on I go to request my token:

request.post({
        method: 'POST',
        url: 'https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token',
        'Content-Type' : 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
        header: {
            Authorization: 'Basic' + <urlEncodedClientIdAndClientSecret>,

        },

        data: {
            grant_type: 'client_credentials'
        }

    }, function(err, res, body) {

    });

However if I try and console log this it always returns undefined, is there an issue with how I've laid out my post request or is there something else I'm missing?

Solution

  • Oh....I just looked at your request again....are you missing a space after the "Basic"? Try this:

    Authorization: 'Basic ' + <urlEncodedClientIdAndClientSecret>,
