API Call Blocked?

beccacb3 — Sat, 30 Nov 2024 19:30:00 GMT

I'd believed I'd been rate limited originally, however, I am still unable to make API requests. I know my requests had been working as I am using code that had previously been working. For context, I am working on an application that scrapes for all of my playlist information. How would I go about making sure my application is not blocked?

The same thing happened to me a month ago. I was getting 429 errors on even single requests. I created a new app on the Spotify dashboard and used the new client ID and secret in my app.

I have been rate limited before(lasting 1 or 2 days) because I was sending repeated requests over a longer period of time despite being below the rate limit threshold. I don't think Spotify would permanently block your SDA so I would not worry and just trying again later
