Is there a maximum amount of artists listed when you get track info through the API?

Is there a maximum amount of artists listed when you get track info through the API?

I want to get all the artists that are listed on a track, and then split them up in separate columns. I've figured out how to do most of this (using Python with pandas), but one thing I'm not sure about. To prevent errors or data loss, I need to tell before I get the data how many columns I need, but I can't find any info on this. I don't recall seeing tracks with more than 3 artists credited, but is this actually the max?

There isn't a max. Here is a new song with 8 artists:

Thanks, good to know! I guess if there is a max, it isn't documented anywhere and it might be very high anyway.
