Forbidden 403 on GET Queue

Forbidden 403 on GET Queue

Hi, 

 

I'm trying the Spotify API with through my app in development mode and I'm receiving an error anytime I try to call:

GET https://api.spotify.com/v1/me/player/queue
The error (why so generic?):
data: { error: { status: 403, message: 'Forbidden.' } }
 
Even if I try this API with the developer console I get this error, without any further information.
Furthermore, this is the only API that doesn't work for me.
 
What can I do to fix it?

I figured this endpoint works only for premium users. The only doc mentioning that could be this page https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/guides/using-connect-web-api/ if we assume that `me/player/queue` is part of the playback category of endpoints. But it would be better if this was mentioned on the endpoint doc directly https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/#/operations/get-queue or in the error message being returned.

had the same issue.

then i noticed all other premium users endpoints do return the following error, however they messed up on the queue

(probably worth fixing)

{
"status": 403,
"message": "Player command failed: Premium required",
"reason": "PREMIUM_REQUIRED"
}
