spotify api Get Recommendations alternative?

[Jonahcool1]

the potify api Get Recommendations got Deprecated
and I wonder if there is an alternative?

[Ryuko4w]

i think we can get recommendations using search but not specific like endpoint get recommendations, i hope @spotify will bring it back endpoint

Did it just get deprecated? I swear it was not a few days ago….

Well that really stinks. I have a python program for personal use that generates a playlist of songs from a particular date range based on artist recommendations. This morning (27-November-2024) it no longer works. I guess I'll have to think of a different way to seed the target playlist with tracks. Grrrr....

Same here. I have a Python script to generate custom recommendations based on On Repeat and Liked Songs. I was enjoying the results. It worked as recently as yesterday, November 26.

Why did they take it down? I'm writing my final project for engineering degree, I need it so bad 😅

I know right. So weird that they just removed it without any warnings or replacements

What I am doing as an alternative is using /search, as @Ryuko4w mentioned above.

I am getting both the currently played artist and track and then pass them to /search - i.e. '<artist_name> <track_name>'. Then, I get the tracks after the first suggestion and use them as a list of recommendations.

It is not ideal, but we have to adapt to the current situation.

I only learnt about this feature today and was crushed to see it was just removed as it would've been ideal for building my daily playlist. I suppose I will be using related artists instead.

Hoping for a replacement. Shocked to see it disappear without a trace; has so many cool possible applications
