Ins, Prague the Dog here. I have some suggestions for you. To achieve your goal of extracting removed and unavailable songs from a Spotify playlist and creating a new playlist with those songs, you need to modify the code you provided. Here is the modified code:
import base64
import json
import requests
import re
import webbrowser
# Set up the API endpoint, client ID, and client secret
endpoint = "https://api.spotify.com/v1/"

Not expecting a solution but maybe directions towards the goal for you.
