Apparently this call to get_soundcloud_api2_data(artist_id) fails because the requests.get(v2_url) call returns a 401 unauthorized error. Unfortunately I don't know enough to debug the issue further.

Facing same issue

It's happening with more and more artists for me. Some are fine, others... Forget about it.

This error can pop up for various reasons:

• get_soundcloud_api_playlist_data: This uses a hardcoded client token. If you use a different token, the issue is resolved
• get_soundcloud_api2_data: uses the AGGRESSIVE_CLIENT_ID. This one is also shared by multiple different repo's, and could, just like the main token, hit the daily usage, or be revoked. This seems to be the case as well.

See #203

There is better http error handling in #241. Also, as the previous comment mentions, there are some issues with location or client ids.
