Curl post requests with Spotify client id & secret return invalid client


Okay, I got it working - passing my client_id and client_secret, separated by a colon, to Base64.strict_encode64 (NOT Base64.encode64) and then passing that to the above curl request gets a 200 response with an access token. Apparently encode64 was not enough.


I ran into this error when I ran the curl command in my terminal.

-bash: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'

Solved by using single quotes instead of double quotes.
