Expected Behavior vs Actual Behavior

I want create Simple web api here is my code :

from spotdl import Spotdl
from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
import json

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/spotifydownloader')  # Make sure the route starts with a '/'
def download():
    url = request.args.get('url', '')  # Get the URL parameter from the request query
    return spotify_download(url)

def spotify_download(url2):
    spotdl = Spotdl(client_id='541f7a', client_secret='8bfad3f4abb')

    songs = spotdl.search([url2])
    song = songs[0]

    dn = spotdl.download(song)

    MusicInfo = {
      "name": song.name,
      "artists": ' -  '.join(song.artists),
      "photo": song.cover_url,
      "date": song.date,
      "filename" : str(dn[1])
    }

    return MusicInfo

def spotify_download(url2):
    spotdl = Spotdl(client_id='541f7a', client_secret='8bfad3f4abb')

Over here you are setting the value of spotdl again every time you download another song. What you should do is make the value once outside of the functions something like this

from spotdl import Spotdl
from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
import json

app = Flask(__name__)

spotdl = Spotdl(client_id='541f7a', client_secret='8bfad3f4abb')

@app.route('/spotifydownloader')  # Make sure the route starts with a '/'
def download():
    url = request.args.get('url', '')  # Get the URL parameter from the request query
    return spotify_download(url)

def spotify_download(url2):
    songs = spotdl.search([url2])
    song = songs[0]

    dn = spotdl.download(song)

    MusicInfo = {
      "name": song.name,
      "artists": ' -  '.join(song.artists),
      "photo": song.cover_url,
      "date": song.date,
      "filename" : str(dn[1])
    }

    return MusicInfo

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(debug=True)

@keplerHaloxx is correct, spotdl class should only be initialized once. if you want to change something afterwards take a look at the code in the entry point/web code and use downloader instead
