After changing the secret url in #49, we're still unable to get playlist infos (and other methods I guess).

Minimal code to reproduce the error:

from spotapi import PublicPlaylist

playlist = PublicPlaylist("6zCID88oNjNv9zx6puDHKj")
results = playlist.get_playlist_info()

Full error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    results = playlist.get_playlist_info()
              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    raise BaseClientError(
spotapi.exceptions.errors.BaseClientError: Could not get general hashes

By catching the exception, I get the following output:

    }
}
