500 errors from me/tracks

500 errors from me/tracks

My API app has been basically unable to get Liked Tracks for the last day or two. The console is full of 500 errors, and the same call to me/tracks will often fail 2-4 times but then succeed, and then the same thing with the next page. This was working fine only a few days ago.

The following text is copied from a similar thread regarding the 500 error status code. Hope this helps. 

 

"Responses with status code 500 can be caused by a number of reasons, none of which is your application's fault. There are cases where a user's list of playlists (or an individual playlist) cause temporary issues in Spotify's backend. This occurs more often if the list of playlists have a lot of revisions, e.g. the user has an unusually large amount of playlists and have removed, added and moved them around a lot. We're working on resolving this but meanwhile we ask you to try again.

This isn't related to any of the query parameters sent in the request, it's simply an intermittent error."

I don't know if the issue has been resolved for the OP, but I've also been encountering this for the past day or so. It was working completely fine and loading songs quickly, but now my app has to retry nearly 20 times (with increasing delays between each try) before it gets a proper response.
