Create Playlist for other user doesn't work

[notkev1n]

I confirmed this through https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/create-playlist 

May I know why it doesn't work in the docs? That would be a great starting point to fix first before I doubt myself of doing something wrong.

Hi @notkev1n 

Welcome to the Spotify Community! You're absolutely correct that an app can only create a playlist for the user who has authorized it. In other words, if a user logs into your app, the app can create a playlist for that specific user.

To ensure everything works smoothly, double-check that the logged-in user has granted the required permissions (playlist-modify-public or playlist-modify-private) and that the user_id in your request matches their Spotify account ID.

If you have any other questions or run into issues, feel free to ask.

Cheers!

In general, why does in docs doesn't work as well? That is the one I'm concerned about because that's the thing I rely all time.

You can get the user id of the current logged in user, you in this case, using the Get Current User's Profile endpoint.

With the provided user id, it should work.
