Hello,

I’m creating a custom webhook zap with Spotify and I believe I put in a valid token, but I am receiving this error -  “Only valid bearer authentication supported".

Share screenshots of your Zap step that’s resulting in an error.

There are 2 required header fields: Authorization & Content-Type.

Add “Authorization” as a field below Content-Type in your Zap step.

Then make sure the value has “Bearer ” before the API Key.

You can test the Spotify API here: https://developer.spotify.com/console/delete-playlist-tracks/

@Troy Tessalone I’m getting the same error with this update.

The API Key needs to be placed after Bearer, not in the Basic Auth field.

Thanks that almost worked, but I’m getting a “The app returned "JSON body doesn't conform to specification" error now.

I suggest referencing the DEVELOPER link included previously.

Looks like there is an extra space before and maybe after the dynamic URL in the JSON.
