/playlists API Endpoint Issue Fixed

[ThePodfather]

We wanted to provide an update regarding issues identified in the “/playlists” API endpoints. We have investigated the reported concerns of null results appearing in responses and have fixed the behaviour in the “/me/playlists” and “/users/{user_id}/playlists” endpoints. Extended quota mode clients were not affected by this issue. 

If you continue to encounter problems, please share your feedback in this thread. 

Thank you for your patience whilst we resolved this issue.

Can you please bring back Spotify-owned playlists in the "me/playlists" endpoint or at least explain why they were removed from access?

The Endpoint: /v1/playlists/{playlist_id}/tracks not working for any playlist Except Demo

This is supposed to get the Today's Top Hits playlist

My web application is also fully dependent on the FeaturedPlaylist API and Category Playlist functionality. These features are crucial to how our platform functions and deliver a core part of the user experience. Without them, we're facing significant disruptions in service.

I would greatly appreciate it if the team could consider bringing these features back or providing an update on when we can expect them to be available again.

We have the same issue: 404 returned for any public playlist.

Same issue here. getting a 404 error for API calls to spotify-owned playlists.
What has happened, and when can we expect a fix?

I just wanted to clarify that it is not the “/playlists” API endpoints, but the user's playlists endpoints (the "Get User's Playlists" and "Get Current User's Playlists" endpoints). 

Getting 404 when requesting a Spotify-owned playlist in the "Get Playlist" or "Get Playlist Items" endpoints is the expected behavior for the non-extended quota mode clients. The API will filter out the items, or act as if they do not exist.

Can we at LEAST get the playlists included without specific song listings?
The current config hampers my ability to do simple things like have a Streamdeck button play a spotify owned playlist.

I don't understand, I definitely was able to request a Spotify-owned playlist before and I have always been in development mode. Why did this change, and is there any hope to bring back this feature to development mode ?

[AdrienCompDev]

Okay, I found the cause, see point 8 : https://developer.spotify.com/blog/2024-11-27-changes-to-the-web-api

I really hope Spotify will bring "Get Playlist Items" back for editorials. I used that a lot.
