Python - limit API calls with random()

lets say I'm making requests to an API query which returns a variable number of track ids:

ids = spotipy.get_tracks() # from 10 to 100 ids

but the API has a limit of, say, 50 requests per call. If it surpasses the limit, it will generate an error.

So my current workaround is to limit the calls using random.sample(), like so:

tracks = random.sample(ids, 50)

however, if the query returns LESS than 50 results, it will also generate an error.

how do I limit the number of calls to a maximum of 50, using random.choice()?

or is there a better solution?
