My Question or Issue

Hi,

something changed in this api service because the following call used to work:

playlist_id=<any>

fields=“total,items(added_at,added_by.id,track(name,id))”

and now it doesnt work. However, if you remove the ‘.id’ at the added_by, it works by returning all the added_by info. It seems that something goes wrong with the ‘added_by.id’ and the server doesnt return any more info after this field.

Thanks!

I am having a similar issue, I used the list of items below when fetching playlist items without issues up until this morning:

```

items(added_at,track(id,name,disc_number,duration_ms,external_ids,track_number,artists(id,name),album(id,name,release_date,total_tracks))),limit,next,offset,previous,total

```

That no longer returns album info, if I swap the artists and album order, then I get album info but not artists'.

I had to disable the fields query from my requests as that's the only way I can retrieve all the info I need.

Any clues as to what's happening?

Yes, this is my problem and also my temporary fix (despite the increase in size response).

I’ve a more complex filter like yours, but reported a simpler one because it fails the same. IMHO it’s due to a new deployed server version that fails to parse the fields parameter. When the service returns to previous behaviour I’ll revert the workaround.

I guess we just have to wait for Spotify to solve it

Now it works as usual. Whatever failed has already been fixed.
