It is not possible to get a token if your app is not already registered

[viking1304]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

At this moment it is not possible to register new apps on Deezer, so I guess that should be clearly stated somewhere. If you do not have APP_ID and APP_SECRET already, you cannot get them in any way at this moment.

Is there any alternative? Like log in with browser and then use a cookie?

btw. Where can I find a list of functions that actually require authorization?

EDIT: I am fully aware you cannot do anything about app registration, but you can add some clear and visible statement about the issue, so other people would not waste time trying to figure out how to get a token.

Thanks for reporting. That's a bit unfortunate, not sure why it is the case. Feel free to send a pull request to add a note somewhere 👍🏻

Please check this comment: 9a3c770#r158917116 I think that place would be most adequate for this message.

I would definitely add the same notes to those places as well (outside this repo):
https://github.com/browniebroke/deezer-oauth-cli?tab=readme-ov-file#usage
https://deezer-python.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage.html#authentication

I would really appreciate your answer to those two questions as well:

1. Is there any alternative? Like log in with browser and then use a cookie?
2. Where can I find a list of functions that actually require authorization?

EDIT: It would be great if you and someone else could check if they see the same message as me. It is possible that this is actually related to some geo restriction, and not apply to everyone.

EDIT2: Somehow I added comment to some very old commit, so I change that now. Anyway, I just add that so you can see if you agree with the wording and placing. If you are ok with that, I will make a proper PR.

I can confirm that I have the same messaging yes. If you could edit the files in these places and send me a pull request, I'll happily accept it. Much easier to do than on an old commit.

I don't know of any alternatives, no. As far as I remember, the API docs were pretty good at explaining what requires auth, from the top of my head, it was mostly stuff that related to the user library/account.
