the playlist function stopped working between yesterday and today about spotipy

How often are you using this endpoint? Maybe caching might be helpful.

And btw, you can actually monitor the usage of the API endpoints in the Spotify dashboard.

You have probably hit a rate limit. urllib will wait until the limit is gone, but for some reason this can take quite a long time.

If you want to get an error message instead, just do the following:

sp = spotipy.Spotify(
    retries=0,
    ...
)

You are right: I get a 429 error with the retries=0 option. Not sure why though: I'm asking for one playlist only, and the api is answering to any other request, besides playlist. Thanks a lot for the help!

thanks for your feedbacks - I'll optimize my script to request by batch and make it more efficient!
