Hello I've been working on this code that filters my top-200 songs on spotify, filters them by genre, then updates a playlist. Everything has been good until here, the problem is I wanted to implement the spotify reccomendations API to add also some of the spotify reccomended songs. I can't seem to figure out where the problem is, these are the errors I am getting:

It looks like the API has been deprecated. People are discussing the same issue on their community forum.

I faced the same issue for my project, I temporarily used this API https://reccobeats/docs/apis/get-recommendation almost same at Spotify recommendation API
