Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/880

When running:

# create an empty dictionary for the audio features
audio_features = {}
# for the ids in our dataset, find the audio feature values
for idd in liked_songs['id'].tolist():
audio_features[idd] = spotipy_obj.audio_features(idd)[0]

I get the error

ReadTimeout: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='api.spotify.com', port=443): Read timed out. (read timeout=5)

My code was working before but now it's not.

Apparently this can happen from time to time. As a workaround, you could use a try except to fetch the ReadTimeout error and then call the function again (either with a while True loop or as mentioned here).

Since this has never happened to me, I can't really test this, so good luck.
