[URGENT] Sudden Error 403 When Getting User Top Songs

[URGENT] Sudden Error 403 When Getting User Top Songs

My application has been running successfully for weeks now, but randomly this morning it began throwing out this error when attempting to pull top songs from authenticated users

HTTP Error for GET to https://api.spotify.com/v1/me/top/tracks with Params: {'time_range': 'long_term', 'limit': 50, 'offset': 0} returned 403 due to User not registered in the Developer Dashboard

I went ahead and submitted a quota extension request, but there are currently hundreds of users trying to use the website who are being barred. Why did this suddenly happen and how can I fix it? If I do require a quota extension, how quickly can it be processed?

Hey folks! Thanks for sharing this on the Spotify Community!

 

While your app is still in development mode, only specified users in the Developer Dashboard can use your app. Once you've received the quota extension, your app can be used by everyone. There's a bit more information here: https://developer.spotify.com/community/news/2021/05/27/improving-the-developer-and-user-experience-.... Let me know if you still have any questions!

 

Have a great day,

hey @hubo, even after adding the specified users in the dev dash, the 403's are still sporadic. 

 

bizarrely attempting 5 times, 1 or 2 of the same requests will work. seems like its a server syndication issue or something?
