Discover Weekly Within API

c-seruby — Wed, 11 Oct 2023 15:52:28 GMT

Hello -

I know that if your Discover Weekly playlist is refreshed, it's not simple (and maybe impossible) to recover the songs from the previous week.

I am aware of the myriad of ways to backup the Discover Weekly playlist both manually and programmatically. Unfortunately, I messed up and missed last week's and there were songs on there I wanted to save.

I am not a developer but I did see that within the api, there are date parameters associated with the 'get_playlist' call. Is it possible to access the older songs in the Discover Weekly playlist by manipulating these date parameters in the api?

Forgive any misuse of terminology above from a novice.

Any input is appreciated here, thank you.

You can try to find the track by looking through your listening history. Sadly, there is no other solutions.

Yeah, Discover Weekly songs are very lamely represented in listening history as "the entire Discover Weekly playlist" and nothing more granular, so that's a dead-end too. Thanks for the reply though... I guess they're gone, oh well.
