My Question or Issue
I am experiencing issues with Spotify's Web API when trying to retrieve data for certain playlists. Specifically, requests to the following API endpoint return a 404 Client Error: Not Found for url: error:

• API URL: https://api.spotify.com/v1/playlists/37i9dQZF1DXc57cuGAMEkA?additional_types=track
• Web URL: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DXc57cuGAMEkA
• Playlist Title: New Music Friday Japan

Additionally, I have encountered the same issue with other Spotify-created playlists, such as global charts.

What I Tried

1. I suspected an authorization issue, so I tested the same API URL via the official Spotify API reference page (https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/get-playlists-tracks). However, the 404 error persisted.
2. I confirmed that my script works for other playlists by testing a different playlist (e.g., https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5dioOAPReQCRR4XCx2DLPQ?trackId=5H6H2pYhX8tYGQ2DG4QeB0), which returned the expected data.

It seems that Spotify-created playlists, when accessed via the Web API (https://api.spotify.com/v1/playlists/), are consistently returning 404 errors.

Is there something I might be overlooking on my end, or has there been a change to the accessibility of Spotify-created playlists via the API?

I would greatly appreciate your advice or assistance in resolving this issue.

You have not done anything wrong, this is all related to the recent changes to the Web API, see point 8 about algorithmic or Spotify-owned editorial playlists.

Sadly Spotify removed the endpoint to make it happen. 
Let's hope they reconsider.
