Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/sigma67/ytmusicapi/issues/239

Hello all,

I'm trying to like all songs in a playlist but I keep getting a 403 error. Tried it with Chrome and Firefox headers.
I assume the playlist id is the part after /playlist?list=

Here is my code, hopefully you guys can help me.

`from ytmusicapi.ytmusic import YTMusic

YTMusic.setup(filepath='headers_auth.json')
ytmusic = YTMusic('headers_auth.json')
ytmusic.rate_playlist(playlistId='PL_5iVIEaUI3-mEdwiXDm7e_OTrIIBSo13', rating='LIKE')`

This is the error:
Exception: Server returned HTTP 403: Forbidden.
The caller does not have permission

PS. I don't have a lot of Python experience.

The code is fine, 403 means that there is an issue with your credentials. Do you have multiple YouTube Music accounts (brand accounts)? If you want me to debug for you, send your headers_auth.json to ytmusicapi@gmail.com

Thanks, I will send you an email with the json file. As far as I can see there I don't have a brand account.

Oh, well now it's obvious. You're trying to add your own playlist to your library, which is obviously impossible. rate_playlist is meant for adding others' playlists to your library.

Ah thanks, I thought it was used for rating the whole play list liked (so every song). Do you have an idea for that?
