Additional Context
This is my 3rd time making a Bug Issue, I hope the creator pays attention. Zotify used to work great for me but since the API changes, it just stopped working. I followed the Installation guide for efficient-api, and I followed the guide the creator posted from here: https://github.com/Googolplexed0/zotify/issues/135#issuecomment-3742078424 .
I also use Premium and I have Spotify Developer set up to work with Zotify for api requests:

I also have this issue.
Seems like TRACKS and TRACK changed to ITEMS and ITEM in a playlist, I'm not a python dev thou, so I wasn't able to properly debug this or fix it.

Seems they have crippled their API: https://developer.spotify.com/blog/2026-02-06-update-on-developer-access-and-platform-security
