Error: $ operator is invalid for atomic vectors: Problem with Access Token

[adapkus]

When trying to use any function that requires the Spotify access token, I get the following error in R:

get_my_profile('BQAutrEqv1HNUuVJB7gRsIkih53KbntAJeeAAc7JDEwbRpQ3Z1PuVecf9zdjgg2StJQAU_LAMwjLI1xBJ4d1ZKa371_VE77FuAJY5KhnjfIrPqNL4LzSWtj2cXPpsbqspzuWls8wh8vn522mgE1oTFhm7Y9rBDAPML2****')
Error: $ operator is invalid for atomic vectors
Request failed [ERROR]. Retrying in 1.3 seconds...
Error: $ operator is invalid for atomic vectors
Request failed [ERROR]. Retrying in 2.7 seconds...
Error: $ operator is invalid for atomic vectors

I am using the access token I retrieved through the Authorization Flow and here is the json data for it:

{"access_token":"BQAutrEqv1HNUuVJB7gRsIkih53KbntAJeeAAc7JDEwbRpQ3Z1PuVecf9zdjgg2StJQAU_LAMwjLI1xBJ4d1ZKa371_VE77FuAJY5KhnjfIrPqNL4LzSWtj2cXPpsbqspzuWls8wh8vn522mgE1oTFhm7Y9rBDAPML2****","token_type":"Bearer","expires_in":3600,"refresh_token":"AQCvFU5TL_ZejNdOe-t_2uHym2FllH3DqKVrveh3RdcvcP5B4Qx-cmHyefnR-tcpiosZkyA0yUhD_9MVsL4Gmf5IZw8V9UMwpyMfT6UG0mr_844B9h4b0nqztM6D1o6****","scope":"playlist-read-private user-read-private"}

I added the **** to the end of the tokens just to maybe protect some data.

I'm running into this exact same issue.

I think that it would be very useful if somebody could elaborate a bit more on the problem, and produce a replicable error. At the very least somebody should report to what does this error message refer to:

Error: $ operator is invalid for atomic vectors
(What was the exact call that resulted in this invalid $ call? Aparantely something that should have received a list or a data.frame received an atomic vector, but what?)

I don't think that this is a program code bug, nevertheless, it would be good to give users a more meaningful error message.

Hi Daniel,

Here is an example of a command that results in this error:

> get_my_playlists(authorization = access_token)
Error: $ operator is invalid for atomic vectors
Request failed [ERROR]. Retrying in 1.9 seconds...
Error: $ operator is invalid for atomic vectors
Request failed [ERROR]. Retrying in 1.7 seconds...
Error: $ operator is invalid for atomic vectors

I created a new client and secret ID and generated a new authorisation token (making sure I added the localhost url as described in the package's tutorial) , but I keep getting the same error.

Same here. Did anyone find a solution?
