Hi,

I made a small util to tag mp3 files with additional info using spotipy API. I have not been using this util for some time, and now it looks broken:

HTTP Error for GET to https://api.spotify.com/v1/audio-features/?ids=5TGUdvBAEigDbnkL2Z6RLU,4Gma7mzhMwfY9kjkq4eiJF,2s4tIYiEG7Kb4BgFmImS88,3vCl4YvZWCgSSheKoY2Y4b with Params: {} returned 403 due to None

I noticed that the API is deprecated , so I was wondering if the log.warn( "You're using audio_features(...), which is marked as deprecated by Spotify.") is enough or the call should be removed entirely at this point.

By the way, is there some alternative? Thanks

Please check our pinned issues before opening a new one: #1172

We are keeping the function as is, because some apps still have access to these deprecated functions.
