Trying to access the web player just says 429 too many requests

caglejk — Tue, 30 Jan 2024 22:59:36 GMT

I use the webplayer at work because we can't download the desktop app. I've been using the web player for a few months now. All of a sudden today when I try to go to the webplayer via firefox a get a white screen with the words 429 too many requests. I've have already cleared all my cache and cookie.

Getting severe 429 Errors (Too Many Requests Error)

WXRIW — Mon, 08 May 2023 02:33:39 GMT

I'm the developer of Lyricify, which is an app for displaying scrolling lyrics for Spotify on Windows and Android. It highly relies on Get Playback State, it send the request frequently with an interval around 5-10s. And these days, 429 Rate Limit is getting more and more severe, and it's a great impact on Lyricify user experience. Since it's a lyrics app, it have to send Get Playback State frequently in order to get up-to-date playback state.

I have already optimized the app by using GSTMC, and reduced the frequency (from 2s per request to 10s per request). But still, I'm getting too many request error.

Please add a higher rate-limit to my app, so we can make both Lyricify and Spotify better!

I am a Lyricify user. Recently, I frequently encountered problem 429 when using Lyricify, the lyrics software of Spotify. The cause may be that Lyricify frequently requests real-time status updates in the background. Please try to increase the number of API requests in a short period of time to solve this problem.

As lyrics in Spotify does not provide lyrics for most of the songs, third-party software is necessary. I’m a Lyricify user and has been experiencing more 429 errors than before while selecting songs and when the app fetches lyric information.
Hope this issue will be fixed soon.
