as I'm following some tutorials, I dont see curl examples (in Authorization guide for example), I think because spotify api guide changed? Isn't possibile to find the old guide?
Thank you

Using curl in bash terminal for Spotify APIs call.
Assign environment variables
CLIENT_ID='*************** your client ID ***************'
CLIENT_SECRET='*********** your client secret ***********'
PLAYLIST_ID='37i9dQZF1DX2Zjg8kBuEsQ'
TRACK_ID='2TpxZ7JUBn3uw46aR7qd6V'
CLIENT_ID_SECRET=$(echo -n $CLIENT_ID:$CLIENT_SECRET | base64 -w 0)
Get an access-token with Client Credentials Flow
If you want to get it by Code Flow, in here
ACCESS_TOKEN=$(curl --location --request POST 'https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic '$CLIENT_ID_SECRET \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data-urlencode 'grant_type=client_credentials' | jq -r '.access_token')
echo 'ACCESS_TOKEN = '$ACCESS_TOKEN
get track API call
curl --request GET \
'https://api.spotify.com/v1/tracks/'$TRACK_ID \
--header "Authorization: Bearer "$ACCESS_TOKEN

Aidoru asked for [Authorization](https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/general/guides/authorization/code-flow/) (for example), not Client Credentials. – Ximzend Dec 30 '22 at 09:46

1@Ximzend, code flow in [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74651517/expo-auth-session-spotify-get-refresh-token/74655243#74655243), I update my answer to add link. Thanks! – Bench Vue Dec 30 '22 at 13:09

@Aidoru, I made [`autorization_code`](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75286588/spotify-web-api-call-gives-wrong-code-python/75292843#75292843) flow by Python. It will help your question. – Bench Vue Jan 31 '23 at 05:02
