Using API: Can't get playlists

Solved!

Using API: Can't get playlists

I am making an app that retrieved the top playlists such as global 5op 50, USA top 50, Today's Top Hits. I tested the APIs to retried Artist, Album, Audiobook, Chapter, etc, but it looks like there is some limitations on retrieving playlists. Can someone explain is it possible to get playlist data? if yes, how? I've spent a few days and tried many things but nothing worked. Here is the test site so you can see what's going on:

Thanks in advance.

Hi @asymmetry 

 

This behaviour is caused by the recent API changes. New apps can't access algorithmic and Spotify-owned editorial playlists anymore. You can still get playlist information from user-made playlists.

 

I hope this answers your question.
