My Question or Issue

My webapp suddenly got blocked from accessing the Web API and I haven't been able to figure out how my app goes against the developer terms and conditions. I've been using the endpoints for their intended purposes, the app description on the dashboard doesn't suggest that it is one of the "forbidden apps to make". Currently the app is running only on my localhost so none of the styling, privacy policy etc. requirements could be the reason.

Did your app make a lot of API requests?

A bit yeah. My app fetches a user's liked songs (once) for the purpose of organizing them into playlists (a request per 50-song batch). There are other apps out there which offer similar functionality, such as organize your music so I didn't see this as an issue. Maybe the volume of requests from my testing could be mistaken for data harvesting of some kind?

Maybe. I am not a Spotify employee; just a community member lile you. Fortunately I haven't had this problem myself while using the API extensively…
