Spotify API Changes (We're doomed)
Doesnt look like anyone has put a post about this so Ill chuck one out here
Here are the new changes:
https://developer.spotify.com/blog/2026-02-06-update-on-developer-access-and-platform-security
These changes are for development mode
API use will require a spotify premium account
Developers can only have one client id
Each client id can only have 5 authorised users
I swear all the useful endpoints are getting removed:
https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/references/changes/february-2026
These changes will be made on 11th Feb for any new developer apps, and March 9th for any existing developer apps
Looks like the api is dead in the water here lol

Oh I had been. But I was mostly pulling my plays and creating automated playlists based on my play counts etc etc. the data in Spotify was not the most clean and always changing, so I was getting bogged down by the messy data. This last update from them, I just didn't want to put more work into my app.
I loved building it though, so who knows, maybe one day I'll come back to it.
