Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/1172

Describe the bug
Spotify have made sudden breaking changes to their API, depreciating many endpoints (making them unavailable to many current users)

Additional context
Spotipy documentation might need to be updated to reflect this depreciation.

This is the worst. They also made it impossible to retrieve data from playlists like Release Radar or New Music Friday, which I was using on weekly basis.

I ran into the same problem with my personal script I used every week to get data from Release Radar.

A workaround for that is copying these playlists using the Spotify app (mobile or desktop) and using that playlist to retrieve data from it.

I think Spotify is trying to keep the data they generate on their site. But this breaks more "normal" applications than malicious ones.

Is there anyway I can get access to a songs metadata now that they have deprecated the API endpoint

Late to the party but I thought I was going crazy or something after hopping back on my project after a bit and seeing the recommendations API continuously return a 404. Sucks to see it go :(

For some time it was possible to use Spotify anon but since new changes we're implemented this week it's not working anymore.

Super late to the party, but saw artist_related_artists(artist_id) also deprecated. Does anyone know of a similar endpoint?
