Expand Up @@ -24,6 +24,23 @@ entire discography in seconds, along with Spotify’s audio features and
track/album popularity metrics. You can also pull song and playlist
information for a given Spotify User (including yourself!).

**Warning**: As of November 2024 Spotify restricted access to many aspects of its API
(see [this post](https://developer.spotify.com/blog/2024-11-27-changes-to-the-web-api)) for details).
Affected routes include:

- Related Artists
- Recommendations
- Audio Features
- Audio Analysis
- Get Featured Playlists
- Get Category's Playlists
- 30-second preview URLs, in multi-get responses (SimpleTrack object)
- Algorithmic and Spotify-owned editorial playlists

Only developers of pre-existing approved Spotify apps will be able to continue using these features, it seems.
If you are not such a developer, then unfortunately the corresponding functions in the spotifyr package
will not work for you.

## Installation

CRAN version 2.2.3 (recommended)
