Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/963

So I'm trying to get every result in a search, but I don't understand the search max.

total_results = sp.search(q = sign, type='playlist', limit = 1)['playlists']['total'] playlists = sp.search(q = sign, type="playlist", limit=search_max), I tried this but kept giving me errors

Then I tried a loopwhile True: search_results = sp.search(q=q, type=search_type, limit=limit, offset=offset) items = search_results['tracks']['items'] if len(items) == 0 or len(items) < limit: break results_list.extend(items) offset += limit print(f'Found {len(results_list)} {search_type}s matching "{q}"') but got the same error.

Also note I'm using client cred

client_credentials_manager = SpotifyClientCredentials(client_id=client_id, client_secret=client_secret) sp = spotipy.Spotify(client_credentials_manager=client_credentials_manager)
