Originally created by @tomballgithub on GitHub (Dec 26, 2025).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/misiektoja/spotify_monitor/issues/31

I am seeing this when launching one of my 2 instances.

* Error, retrying in 3 minutes: 404 Client Error: Not Found for url: https://api.spotify.com/v1/playlists/37i9dQZF1DWTkxQvqMy4WW?fields=name,owner,followers,external_urls

And then it just hangs up and doesn't proceed to continue to launch the script.

You can simulate by editing this in spotify_get_playlist_info():

    # playlist_id = playlist_uri.split(':', 2)[2]
    playlist_id = "37i9dQZF1DWTkxQvqMy4WW"

This routine is being called when this happens:

def spotify_get_playlist_info(access_token, playlist_uri, oauth_app=False):
    if not access_token:
        raise Exception("spotify_get_playlist_info(): access_token is empty")

    playlist_id = playlist_uri.split(':', 2)[2]
    url = f"https://api.spotify.com/v1/playlists/{playlist_id}?fields=name,owner,followers,external_urls"

So I verified this doesn't always happen, but it does consistently happen with this playlist, which is one of these public Spotify curated lists. It was the last playlist I had listened to at the time.

It's a valid playlist:

What's weird is using the official API page, https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/get-playlist, any public Spotify curated lists also generates a 404 error.

Just go here and pick any one:
https://open.spotify.com/user/spotify

In absence of a fix, just need to trap the error

Here is why this is happening with those playlists.

I thought a fix for spotify_get_playlist_info() is to add a 404 check:

    try:
        response = SESSION.get(url, headers=headers, timeout=FUNCTION_TIMEOUT, verify=VERIFY_SSL)
        if response.status_code == 404:
            return False
        response.raise_for_status()

However, that forces is_playlist to False, which may have other side effects.

Yes, I confirm that oauth_app can't be used to get info for Spotify-generated playlists (known limitation as you pasted).

However, I realized we don't really need that function since everything is actually returned in the friend activity API response. I'm not even sure why I put that function in there in the first place. It was such a long time ago. Anyway, it works as expected now.
