can use get playlist

[yoavelko]

hey guys, I have been working on my app which get playlist is an important function in it and today it suddenly stopped working (been working on it all day and then it stopped).
I have checked the documentations as well and at the "try yourself" part it also wont work so I guess it has a bug for now...
also, it wasnt on todays web API changes.

anyone knows if its officially down for the moment or am I the only one having this problem?

I also encountered the same problem. When I obtained the category first and then used the category ID to obtain the playlist, a 404 error also occurred.

Hi @yoavelko and @ChunMingLiao 

The issue is likely due to point 8 in Spotify's recent Web API change announcement. If your app is trying to fetch data from an Algorithmic or Spotify-owned editorial playlist, these are now restricted for:  

- New apps registered after the announcement date.  

- Existing apps in development mode without an approved extension request.  

You’ll need to check if your app falls under these conditions. For user-created playlists, the endpoint should still work.  

Let me know if you need further clarification!

This is yesterday’s announcement and I just happened to have a screenshot. Compared with today, there are two more unusable API endpoints.

Echoing the general sentiment in https://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-for-Developers/Changes-to-Web-API/td-p/6540414 that It's quite insane how there was absolutely zero warning about this, regardless of what functionality was removed...
