ESP: "Could not parse error, connection failed"

I found a code for ESP, which should track in real time what I'm currently listening to in spotify and display information about the song currently playing. In order for this code to work, I need another code that will give me a token. The trouble is that the code that should display the token for me gives the following:

.......

What is the reason for this error and how to fix it?
here is a code

What made you think that it had anything to do with Covid ?

sorry it was an accident
