My Question or Issue

The "daylist" is one of my friend group's favorite things and we like sharing our titles and some of the tracks with each other, but sometimes when I access the playlist through the API it only returns a default title of "daylist" (and other times, the unique playlist). I access the playlist through a logged in and authenticated user's list of playlists, so is there a way to guarantee that I will receive a unique playlist name instead of just "daylist"?

UPDATE 10/2/2023:

I used the GET Playlist endpoint using the anonymous daylist ID I fetched through GET All Following Playlists. What I received was the current daylist in terms of content (every song was the same, order just slightly different), but the time it displayed was wrong (evening, not afternoon). When the new daylist came out, the GET All Playlists endpoint is giving me the ID for the Afternoon (but says Evening in the title) playlist, despite there being a new daylist released that was completely different.

I don't know if this is possible through the api, but you can now share your version of the Daylist playlist with each other by just using the share function of the mobile app, and share the shortened link.

Just to be sure: did you get the playlist info through the Client Credentials flow, or a Authorization Code flow? The first one wouldn't work.

Authorization Code flow. I'm wondering if I need to check snapshot information somehow, I just noticed it.

Nevermind, snapshot_id is not relevant here (oops). Anyway, I just retried and received the correct playlist name  ('daylist - beatboxing beat drop friday morning' instead of just 'daylist' like I was a few minutes ago) so I'm not sure if there's something I need to do, like interact with the playlist on Spotify before accessing it with the API. Any help here would be appreciated!

EDIT: Okay, so the playlist name I received is actually the wrong one because the daylist updated, and it should actually be an afternoon playlist. Not sure what that means for posting the updated name of the playlist. I'm going to try seeing if the correct version of the playlist is not in the first 50 indexes that I'm fetching.

Thanks you for the information. I don't have the daylist yet.

Hi, 1.5 years later, but wondering how you get the daylistID through get all following playlists? The get all following api documentation appears to only return artists

Hi @Farquad 

Unfortunately, it is not possible anymore to get editorial and algorithmic playlists made by Spotify like Daylist anymore. More info here.

I hope this answers your question. Let me know if you have further questions.

Cheers!
