Hi. Having trouble getting Beatport plugin working. Get the same problem on three different distros. Eager to get it working as most of my library is electronic dance music 🙂

Have installed required requests and requests\_oauthlib libraries.

‘beet version’ gives:

beets version 1.6.0  
Python version 3.10.4  
plugins: copyartifacts, deezer, discogs, embedart, fetchart, inline, lastgenre, random, zero

The [instructions](https://beets.readthedocs.io/en/stable/plugins/beatport.html) say ‘The first time you run the import command after enabling the plugin, it will ask you to authorize with Beatport by visiting the site in a browser. On the site you will be asked to enter your username and password to authorize beets to query the Beatport API.’

Instead get the following error:

beet import Music  
Traceback (most recent call last):

It appears to be looking for a ‘beatport\_token.json’ file but there is no mention of this on the plugin [page](https://beets.readthedocs.io/en/stable/plugins/beatport.html).

The relevant error is actually the last one in the chain: the `SSLError`. This kind of thing is terribly annoying to debug but usually indicates either intermittent network problems our out-of-date OpenSSL or certificates packages.

I’m getting a similar issue here. Initial import after enabling the plugin does not call the API and makes beets crash. Can I just add my beatport credentials to my beets config somehow? Anyone know the syntax for that?
