Hey there,

My program cycles through and adds a random song to my playlist every couple minutes or so. After a few songs I seem to be getting a 500 from Spotify. Below is my error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Hi @cbaudouinjr, do you still have this issue?

Can you confirm that you are passing a valid track_id track_to_add['id'] just before you get a 500?

Please also try to provide more code so we can check if the logic is correct.

Closing due to issue being inactive and 500 status code being internal errors that depend on the web API directly https://github.com/spotify/web-api/
