hello owner, sorry I'm a bit of a newbie about programming code problems. I tried your PX, but I got the error as above. with the python command below:

`from ytmusicapi import YTMusic
ytmusic = YTMusic('headers_auth.json')
search_results = ytmusic.get_album("VLPLyptEKnOyi5Ci9jF22vECiU5f-FNuMBwB")
print(search_results);

`where is my mistake?

You're using a playlistId, but you need to use an album browse id. See here:
