429 errors on Embed album

I have embed the Spotify links to my own songs (x 55) on my website using the /share/Embed album tool in Spotify. I thought this was a really cool feature and presents the material well. However, as soon as I got the last code added, all the links crashed and now throw the 429 error for every song. Meaning, now nobody can listen to my songs!

I saw it's possible to ask Spotify for an extension to API requests, but I haven't created an app (just using the embed code). So it seems I can't make that request.

I'm really stuck. What can I do? Thanks...

Hi @OompaLoompa001

Am I correct in understanding that you've embedded each track individually instead of using the full album embed?

If so, you might try either embedding the entire album instead of individual tracks or creating a playlist with all the tracks you'd like to feature and embedding that playlist. Both approaches can reduce the number of requests and may help resolve the 429 error you're encountering.

Let me know how it goes or if you need help setting it up.

Cheers!
