How to query a playlist properly and safely

$

I want to extract the information from a YouTube playlist but querying the whole playlist at once seems to be quite unreliable even if I use the ignoreerrors flag, because sometimes it gets stuck, especially if the internet connection is a bit shaky.Should I just download the playlist one by one by setting the playliststart and playlistend values and processing it in a loop?

My current code looks like this:

simulate_ydl_opts = {'format': "251",'playlistend': 50,'ignoreerrors': True,'simulate':True}youtube_dl_object = youtube_dl.YoutubeDL(simulate_ydl_opts)test_info=youtube_dl_object.extract_info("https://www.youtube.com/user/Rasenfunk")
