How can I get an API rate increase?

How can I get an API rate increase?

I have recently used a tool to migrate from Rdio to Spotify.  Unfortunately the tool imported only the first song in each album to my library.  Since I am a developer, I have written a simple programe that queries all of my saved songs, checks to see if the album is also saved, and if it isn't saves the album.  I ran the script and it worked for a bit, but then I started getting HTTP error 403 with the message "Your Music limit exceeded".

I only get this message when trying to save an album.  Querying songs and checking if albums are saved work without error.  I occasionally get the expected 429 error indicating that I am hitting a rate limit.  My script accounts for this and adds a delay before retrying.  However, the 403 error does not go away and I cannot save any more albums via my script.  I'm guessing that this is some kind of daily limit.  Is that correct?  If so, how can I go about getting this rate temporarily increased?  I only want to run through my music collection one time to get all my albums properly saved.

 

The client ID that I am using for my script for authentication is 474fbd64cc384b5dbde3feb485f50427.

 

 

Thank you.

Hey there!

Can you let us know how many tracks you have already saved under Your Music > Songs and how many albums you've saved so far?

similar issue here.

 

(developing a python script that moves all Playlists that actually are just full albums, created before the times of "Your Music" library, to the library now to have only actually curated playlists)

 

Can you tell us, what limit exists for saving songs / albums ?

 

Or what the error message from the api "your music limit exceeded" exactly means?

 

Am I only allowed to save a certain amount into My Music?

Or is it an API /rate limitation to my app?

Ha. No answer. Its happening to me ATM.
