Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Googolplexed0/zotify/issues/163

I tried to walk through the existing tickets but the difference/usage of Developer / Client Accounts isnt really obvious.

I have an existing client from previous created apps on spotify (but no users assigned in the second tab) - both client ids just report

WARNING: API ERROR (TRY 0) - RETRYING

429: API rate limit exceeded

I use the pipx install -f git+https://github.com/Googolplexed0/zotify.git@efficient-api branch.

I deleted my credentials config before.

According to other tickets when i supply zotify --client-id i should see a login URL - but nothing is shown its just going to 429 error.

The readme only talks about how to install, not how to configure.

Thanks
