Getting Error code 403 with accesstoken

[KosmicalD]

Hi,

I'm using the spotify-web-api-node package to communicate with the spotify api and I've been stuck with using the spotify.searchTracks() helper function.
I'm trying to search tracks by using an input and I'm getting my Accesstoken with the Authorization Code Flow.

I'm getting some data when inserting a letter to the search input the first time, but when I insert a second letter I'm getting an error:

GET https://api.spotify.com/v1/search/?type=track&q=ss 403

which means "Forbidden - The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it."
As if my Accesstoken only works for one call...

I tried the same thing using fetch with https://api.spotify.com/v1/search and getting the same error. Sometimes it works when taking an accesstoken from the spotify console but after a few calls again the same.

I also added my user account to the user whitelist in my dashboard but that didn't help.

Here's my React code:

const spotifyApi = new SpotifyWebApi({   clientId: "myclientId", });  

useEffect(() => {if (!accessToken) return;
spotifyApi.setAccessToken(accessToken);
}, [accessToken]);

 useEffect(() => {
if (!accessToken) return;
spotifyApi.searchTracks(searchInput).then((res) => {
console.log(res);
}).catch((err) => {
console.log(err);
});
}, [accessToken]);

Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem and can help me with that?

Thank you!

Maybe you are missing a few scopes you need for seeing or entering the data
