when spotify's api ghosted my project

So, I was working on this cool project using Spotify's API. Everything was going smooth, until one fine day, boom! Spotify decides to shut down several of their API endpoints. Man, it was like someone unplugged my computer mid-coding.

I had this awesome app idea to recommend songs based on your mood, but now some of the data I needed just vanished into thin air. Yen guru, idu yaake aagide?. But you know what, that's tech life. APIs come, APIs go.

I need to figure out alternatives. It was actually a good learning experience. I found new ways to get the data and even improved my app. So, moral of the story, don't get too attached to your APIs. Need to figure out how to make scraping and bots work tbh.

Stay curious, keep coding, and always have a plan B.
