spotify api post call – response 415?

The code below uses the request library authentication to connect to the Spotify API.

import requests

client_id = # Enter your client id here
client_secret = # Enter your client secret here

grant_type = 'client_credentials'

#Request based on Client Credentials Flow from https: //developer.spotify.com/web-api/authorization-guide/

   #Request body parameter: grant_type Value: Required.Set it to client_credentials
body_params = {
   'grant_type': grant_type
}

url = 'https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token'

response = requests.post(url, data = body_params, auth = (client_id, client_secret))
print response

Just in case of node.js / request use, point out "WTF" tag :)

request({
      method: "POST",
      url: "https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token",
      json: true,
      headers: {
         "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", // WTF!
         "Authorization": "Basic " + new Buffer(client_id + ":" + client_secret).toString('base64')
      },
      body: "grant_type=client_credentials"
   },
   function(err, response, body) {
      if (err) {
         cb(err);
      } else {
         if (body.hasOwnProperty("access_token")) {
            access_token = body.access_token;
            cb(null);
         } else {
            cb(body);
         }
      }
