Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/427

The first Example in the Documentation – "Here's a quick example of using Spotipy to list the names of all the albums released by the artist 'Birdy':" – does not work, because it seems that Spotify does not allow Unauthorized Requests anymore.

Either one of the Authorization Flows seem to be required.

It seems that #244 fixed the Documentation below "Getting Started" but missed the initial Example under "Welcome to Spotipy!", which still remains invalid.
