We integrated the Spotify Web API into our system. For approx 2 months everything was working fine until last week.
I see a lot of errors on the calls we do. E.g Get user's available devices api call give sometimes the response code 403 (Forbidden). Approx 10% of those calls result in this error response. 90% goes well.
This was not the case until a week ago.
Is there any reason for this?
I don't think the quota is exceeded. Our App Status is showing: "Granted quota extension"
Kind regards
Peter
Does the http response body contain any data?
No, only the text : Forbidden
Ensure you're authorized for the required scopes.
Yes I'm authorized, otherwise I would get Response code 401 (Unauthorized).
Here I'm receiving Response code 403 (Forbidden - The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it.)
My application is running now for 3 months and before 2 weeks ago I did not get any errors.
Has Spotify changed something? Is there a restriction on the API calls?
Hi Ohej,
We use a Spotify Premium subscription, ohterwise none of the calls would work.
We use several APIs (Player API, Albums, Playlists, ...). The one most used is /v1/me/player/devices in Player API. This is called in our app every minute.
But I have also noticed the same 403 response with other API calls like /v1/me/player/ in Player API and some others.
P.S. I sended you a PM message with our client ID.
