ERROR 429 (Too many request)

[MatrixDJ96]

Hello mates,
I want to post this issue because recently a lot of EZBlocker's users have received this annoying error.

Here directly from Spotify documentation

Rate Limiting

Rate Limiting enables Web API to share access bandwidth to its resources equally across all users.

Rate limiting is applied as per application based on Client ID, and regardless of the number of users who use the application simultaneously.

To reduce the amount of requests, use endpoints that fetch multiple entities in one request. For example: If you often request single tracks, albums, or artists, use endpoints such as Get Several Tracks, Get Several Albums or Get Several Artists, instead.

Note: If Web API returns status code 429, it means that you have sent too many requests. When this happens, check the Retry-After header, where you will see a number displayed. This is the number of seconds that you need to wait, before you try your request again.

For all users that are using EZBlocker 2 this is a really bad news because to check Spotify status, EZBlocker makes a request every 500ms to the Web API...

This means that EZBlocker couldn't detect current playing song (and so if you are playing ads) correctly

To solve this issue I'll make a guide on how to create a personal EZBlocker with custom Client ID.

Thanks for your attention :)

Which redirect URIs need to be registered with spotify so I don't get a "INVALID_CLIENT: Invalid redirect URI" error?
Edit:
Oops, my bad. I had to add a slash at the end of the redirect URI, works now with my own clientID.
With an own clientID this program is really usable as ads are recognized reliably.

@LittleStinky123 did you manually change the clientID and recompiled the project or did you expose it in a settings file as well?

[LittleStinky123]

@pizzadudez I only did the changes I mentioned in #37 (comment) . I had to recompile it with my changes, the most time consuming part was setting up a spotify developer account anyway.

@LittleStinky123 I didn't see your comment on #37 before writing. I was wondering mostly if someone has already moved the spotify client credentials in a settings file to make the process easier for everyone using this app. I don't currently have the setup to recompile it but I'll get the necessary dependecies and look into maybe adding this feature I mentioned.

Just wondering if you ever did do a tutorial - trying to follow the comments but I they're spread out over diff issues and I'm not the most apt regardless
