Hi Michael. I not only have many playlists over 200, but also have more than 200 playlists so I am limited there as well. This limit is what is keeping me using triode spotify until the last possible minute. I have an api key. Would it be possible to add something so I can enter and use my own key, removing the rate limit issue for your key? I had written functionality that automates the lookup and creation of Spotify playlists from LastFM libraries, and I typically process nearly 4000 transactions per minute without rate limiting. When the rare rate limiting does occur (appears to be related to overall Spotify system load from what I have read), Spotify returns status code 429 and a Retry-After to indicate the number of seconds to wait until sending more requests. If using other keys is possible, could you potentially remove the 200 limits? With my own key, this would eliminate any rate limiting risk with your common api key. Thank you for your consideration.
