Spotipy throws 404 when retrieving song data

EDIT 2: As @ximzend said, spotipy has moved to playlist_items instead of playlist_tracks

EDIT 1: In the process of moving to a curses interface, I changed the progress bar to a tqdm one (rather than rich), and that seemed to solve my problem. I did also upgrade spotipy (after it started working) but no change was needed in the API code ¯( ツ )/¯ so idk if rich was breaking the API req somehow or whatever

Thought I would put this here to help anyone in the future ツ

Spotipy throws this error when trying to retrieve data about tracks in a playlist

requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 404 Client Error: Not Found for url:

The error is thrown on the line below, specifically the self.sp.playlist_tracks(playlist_uri)['items'] part (The progress.track is a progress bar for the loop from rich)

for song in progress.track(self.sp.playlist_tracks(playlist_uri)['items'], description='Listing songs...'):

Full traceback is:

 Not found., reason: None

The code I was using was as follows:

def sp_get_tracks(self, playlist_link: str) -> list:
        '''
        Uses [spotipy](https://pypi.org/project/spotipy/) to retrieve
        a list of songs in the playlist provided. Returns a list to be
        used with `grab_yt_links`
        '''

        playlist_uri = playlist_link.split('/')[-1].split('?')[0]
        song_titles = []

        for song in progress.track(self.sp.playlist_tracks(playlist_uri)['items'], description='Listing songs...'):

            track_name: str = song['track']['name']
            artist_name: str = song['track']['artists'][0]['name']

            track_name = track_name.replace(' ', '+')
            artist_name = artist_name.replace(' ', '+')
            
            song_titles.append(f'{artist_name}+{track_name}')

        return song_titles

It should returns a list of all the songs (and artists) in the playlist. (The progress.track is a progress bar for the loop from rich). The 404 confuses me because my network connection is fine and I am able to perform Google searches etc

Additionally, the playlist only has 19 songs in so should be resticted by the limits I have read elsewhere

You get this error, because Spotify made a code breaking change to its API. SpotiPy has fixed this issue by releasing an upgrade.
To install this upgrade, open a command prompt and run pip install spotipy --upgrade.
After the upgrade, you need to use playlist_items(playlist_id, fields=None, limit=100, offset=0, market=None, additional_types=('track', 'episode')). playlist_tracks is deprecated.
