Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/1117

sp.playlist() was working fine yesterday, and is stuck today: no error message, just no answer.
All the other function I tested are still working fine: sp.album() sp.artist(), etc.
Maybe an evolution of Spotify web API?

You have probably hit a rate limit. urllib will wait until the limit is gone, but for some reason this can take quite a long time.

If you want to get an error message instead, just do the following:

sp = spotipy.Spotify(
    retries=0,
    ...
)

@dieser-niko commented on GitHub (May 23, 2024): You have probably hit a [rate limit](https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/concepts/rate-limits). urllib will wait until the limit is gone, but for some reason this can take quite a long time. If you want to get an error message instead, just do the following: ```python3 sp = spotipy.Spotify( retries=0, ... ) ```

You are right: I get a 429 error with the retries=0 option. Not sure why though: I'm asking for one playlist only, and the api is answering to any other request, besides playlist. Thanks a lot for the help!

How often are you using this endpoint? Maybe caching might be helpful.

And btw, you can actually monitor the usage of the API endpoints in the Spotify dashboard.

thanks for your feedbacks - I'll optimize my script to request by batch and make it more efficient!

Hi @jbdaudet, just a quick heads up, we have released a new version (2.25.0) that prints a warning when a limit is reached. I'm not sure if you're still using retries=0, but if not, this change will warn you when you reach a limit.
