Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/jwilsson/spotify-web-api-php/issues/281

When trying to run some tracks through the API, everything works OK until using the getAudioFeatures function. Then it will always return a 403, without message.

First I start with the "search" endpoint, getting an ID, and feeding the getAudioFeatures, but 403. This is since last week or so. Am I missing something here?

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught SpotifyWebAPI\SpotifyWebAPIException: {\n "error" : {\n "status" : 403\n }\n} in \vendor\jwilsson\spotify-web-api-php\src\Request.php:59\nStack trace:\n#0

I also tried with getMultipleAudioFeatures by feeding an array, same issue. Running PHP 8.1.

Ok. Missed that one. So now it's only possible to get this information with an Extended quota mode (or accepted by Spotify) - api?

That is what they say. My app is in devopment mode and I don't need those endpoints so I cannot say that for sure.

That's a bummer.... Now I need to see how I can convince them to approve my project, which I somehow don't see happening because it's not public.

Closing this since I also think it's due to the changes made by Spotify in November 2024 and there's nothing to do from this end.
