Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/193

Hi when I run the simple code from readthedocs as follow:

import spotipy
import sys

spotify = spotipy.Spotify()

if len(sys.argv) > 1:
    name = ' '.join(sys.argv[1:])
else:
    name = 'Radiohead'

results = spotify.search(q='artist:' + name, type='artist')
items = results['artists']['items']
if len(items) > 0:
    artist = items[0]
    print(artist['name'], artist['images'][0]['url'])

I got this exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/haodong/Documents/Projects/python-workspace/env3/lib/python3.4/site-packages/spotipy/client.py", line 119, in _internal_call
    r.raise_for_status()
  File "/Users/haodong/Documents/Projects/python-workspace/env3/lib/python3.4/site-packages/requests/models.py", line 844, in raise_for_status
    raise HTTPError(http_error_msg, response=self)
requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 401 Client Error: Unauthorized for url: https://api.spotify.com/v1/search?q=artist%3ARadiohead&offset=0&type=artist&limit=10

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 19, in <module>
    results = spotify.search(q='artist:' + name, type='artist')
  File "/Users/haodong/Documents/Projects/python-workspace/env3/lib/python3.4/site-packages/spotipy/client.py", line 339, in search

spotipy.client.SpotifyException: http status: 401, code:-1 - https://api.spotify.com/v1/search?q=artist%3ARadiohead&offset=0&type=artist&limit=10:

Anyone know why?
Many thanks~

Is because of this: https://developer.spotify.com/news-stories/2017/01/27/removing-unauthenticated-calls-to-the-web-api/

@zsdonghao Nowadays that's how we should authenticate our scripts with the new spotify API rules

@pannous No

Alisha Ukani made a pull request fixing a bunch of examples including yours

#244

Apparently the repository owner @plamere is away from the repo

These "hello world" examples are crucial for the newcomers
