There seeems to be a problem in using the spotify api. Also the access token has expired. I'm new to this so would you mind explaining me what should i do in order to get the dataset.

results = spotify.artists(artist_ids)

check what results give read the documentation of the various api to see what to send https://github.com/chaksoham/Music-Analysis/blob/master/pds-final-project.ipynb see here how I have used it, in my repo.
