TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'allowed_methods'

[marcswan]

Hi, i started to get this error after update. Month ago it worked perfectly fine. I am new to python so maybe i am doing something wrong.

import spotipy as sp
from spotipy.oauth2 import SpotifyClientCredentials
import pandas as pd

client_id = "my_client_id"
client_secret = "my_client_secret"

client_credentials_manager = SpotifyClientCredentials(client_id,client_secret)
sp = spotipy.Spotify(client_credentials_manager = client_credentials_manager)

And I get this response

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    195             connect=None,

When I changed it to this as in docs
sp = spotipy.Spotify(auth_manager=SpotifyClientCredentials(client_id = 'my_client_id', client_secret = 'my_client_secret'))
i still have the same error.

Hello. If you do pip list or pip3 list, what version do you have for requests and urllib3? You should have urllib3>=1.26 and requests>=2.25

Oh, thank you. I've upgraded urllib3 and now it's working!

[stephanebruckert]

It's strange though, it should have updated automatically when doing pip3 install spotipy --upgrade

Let's see if someone else complains about it

[PutuAgastya]

Hello, I also encounter the same error message as mentioned above. Upgrading urllib3 fix the error.

Urllib3 was not updated automatically when I update this package. Here's the output when I updated Spotipy package.

[stephanebruckert]

requests 2.25.0 wasn't forcing update of urllib3 to 1.26.0.

Should be fine now on spotipy 2.17.1

pip3 install spotipy --upgrade

Thanks for reporting!

[surenjanath]

oh i got a little tip on this error, if you're outside of the countries that spotify works eg [ US, France etc ], you'd get this error without a vpn, just use vpn and it'll work :)

[Peter-Schorn]

This error was caused by using the wrong version of urllib3. How could it have anything to do with the country that you are in? The error occurs before any web API requests are even made.

[jenniferstefaniks]

Good night people,
I have the same problem as @marcswan and even upgrading the pip and updating urllib3 and requests, it still gives me the same problem
'init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'allowed_methods'

Would there be another way to resolve this error?

[stephanebruckert]

Hello. If you do pip list or pip3 list, what version do you have for requests and urllib3? You should have urllib3>=1.26 and requests>=2.25

@jenniferstefaniks can you please answer the question above and we'll try to help

[jenniferstefaniks]

Good night, they are in the current version. urllib3>=1.26.0 requests>=2.25.0 I'm using collab notebook Em sáb., 21 de ago. de 2021 às 21:56, Stéphane Bruckert < ***@***.***> escreveu:

Hi,

I am receiving the same error message.

spotipy, requests and urllib3 are up to date:
spotipy 2.19.0
urllib3 1.26.6
requests 2.26.0

I'm using ubuntu EC2 AWS with Python 3.8.10.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "main.py", line 197, in <module> trackIds = populateTrackIds() File "main.py", line 57, in populateTrackIds sp = spotipy.Spotify(auth_manager=SpotifyOAuth(client_id="b95eb7c97a4f4bd5a13ab9da3aad447d", File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/spotipy/client.py", line 166, in __init__ self._build_session() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/spotipy/client.py", line 193, in _build_session retry = urllib3.Retry( TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'allowed_methods'

[s2t2]

On colab:

!pip install urllib3 --upgrade 
!pip install requests --upgrade 
!pip install spotipy --upgrade

Then restart the runtime for it to work.

[sebastienmaurette]

hello !
Same thing for me.
All my versions have been upgraded

[stephanebruckert]

@sebastienmaurette please share your versions of requests and urllib3

Hello. If you do pip list or pip3 list, what version do you have for requests and urllib3? You should have urllib3>=1.26 and requests>=2.25

[hikariatama]

requests==2.27.1
urllib3==1.26.8
spotipy==2.19.0

pip3 install -U requests urllib3 spotipy have not solved the issue, sadly

line 193, in _build_session
    retry = urllib3.Retry(
