429/500/404 Errors and Rate Limiting Issues

[xnetcat]

Hey everyone,

I've been seeing more 429/404/500 errors, and slow query processing lately. This is because of Spotify's rate limits on our shared project.

Quick Fix: Use Your Own Client ID and Secret

To avoid these issues, we recommend using your own client ID and secret from Spotify. Here’s how:

1. Visit the Spotify Developer Dashboard: Go to Spotify Developer Dashboard.
2. Log In: Sign in or create a Spotify account.
3. Create a New App: Click "Create an App" and fill in the details. (Set APIs used to Web API and Redirect URIs to http://127.0.0.1:9900/ (or whatever you want to use))
4. Get Your Credentials: Copy your client ID and secret.

Update Your Settings:

1. Config File: Update your settings in the config file as described here.
2. Command Line Options: Alternatively, use the following command line options:

   --client-id CLIENT_ID
   --client-secret CLIENT_SECRET
   

I’m working on a long-term fix to better manage our rate limits. Stay tuned for updates!
