    In order to make successful Web API requests your app will need a valid access token. One can be obtained through <a href="https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/general/guides/authorization-guide/">OAuth 2.0</a>.


    The base URI for all Web API requests is `https://api.spotify.com/v1`.
