Issues with Web API

[Tobynatoren]

I am using Spotipy, and I am having issues with the API. 
My code worked yesterday while I was developing it, and I have reverted back to that point where I knew it worked, but now, with my code below, the terminal looks like this:
PS C:\Users\tobia\Desktop\Clean\DiscoverSort> & C:/Users/tobia/AppData/Local/Microsoft/WindowsApps/python3.11.exe c:/Users/tobia/Desktop/Clean/DiscoverSort/DiscoverSort/DiscoverSort.py
Processing Playlist: Heritage (ID: 0KPrCpOPrbvmd2qf90Uug7)

It's just stuck on the first iteration of my playlist. Before, it would go through my playlists quite rapidly. When I eventually click CTRL + C to exit the program, this shows:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Hi Tobynatoren,

Thanks so much for sharing your code with the Community!

I took a look and noticed you're using `sp.artist(id)` instead of `sp.artists([id_list])`. Spotify offers batch APIs, like the "Get Several Artists" endpoint, which allows you to fetch data for multiple artists in a single request. This is a great way to cut down on the number of API requests, especially when you need data for several artists at once.

I’d recommend trying this out—it’ll help you reduce the number of requests significantly!

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further assistance. 😊
