Request failed 404

Co2Co — Thu, 06 Feb 2025 19:29:10 GMT

Hello everyone, a question. We are trying to do an analysis on the playlists of different countries (top 50). We really thought of it for a university project and to practice. I don't have a problem with any other public list, but whenever I use one from Spotify, I get the error "Request failed [404]". More than anything it is to know and know what is wrong and change the focus.

Thanks for responding.

Hi!

I believe that if the "Top 50" playlist is curated by Spotify, you will no longer be able to analyze it. (This seems to apply to all Spotify-curated playlists.) This is due to Web API changes introduced on November 27, 2024, which no longer permit users to retrieve data from playlists curated by Spotify. You can find more details on the blog page.

I hope this clarifies things.
