title: Spotify Web API rate limits
body: <p>The spotify web API documentation mentions rate limits.  For example, the <a href="https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/authorization-guide/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">authorization guide</a> says this:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>Only endpoints that do not access user information can be accessed.
  Its advantage is that a higher rate limit is applied compared with
  requests to the Web API made without an access token.</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>Are rate limits something I, as a developer, need to worry about?  Will requests to the web API fail if I exceed my rate limit, and if so, what would the failure look like?</p>
