There are two reliable methods to extract your Deezer User Token.

If using response_type=code:

GET https://connect.deezer.com/oauth/access_token.php
  ?app_id=APP_ID
  &secret=APP_SECRET
  &code=AUTH_CODE

Response:

access_token=...&expires=...&refresh_token=...

Include in every API request:

GET https://api.deezer.com/user/me/playlists
Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN

Or via query param (less secure, but Deezer supports it):

https://api.deezer.com/user/me?access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN

Example – Get user’s playlists (Node.js): deezer user token

const response = await fetch('https://api.deezer.com/user/me/playlists', 
  headers:  Authorization: `Bearer $accessToken` 
);
const data = await response.json();
