search api not working for episodes

RoBoT_ — Sat, 20 Apr 2024 15:32:36 GMT

I want to get the id of a podcast episode whose name I know with Python, but when I search with the API, the item parameter returns empty. When I do this for tracks or artists, it works perfectly. Also, yes, I have the access token.

Tried it myself just now using postman and got full results

Can you write your code or the url you used for the GET request?

I don't have specific code but I'm using a program called Postman which is used to test queries and APIs.

I do a GET on https://api.spotify.com/v1/search?query=die meinungsmache&type=episode&limit=5 and pass the Bearer Token in the Authentication as well

Hi,

I have exactly the same issue: searching for episodes returns an empty array:

{ "episodes" : { "href" : "https://api.spotify.com/v1/search?query=football&type=episode&offset=0&limit=20", "items" : [ ], "limit" : 20, "next" : "https://api.spotify.com/v1/search?query=football&type=episode&offset=20&limit=20", "offset" : 0, "previous" : null, "total" : 1000 } }

I have a correct token with a curl call:

curl --request GET \ --url 'https://api.spotify.com/v1/search?query=football&type=episode' \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer …'

When trying the exact same request on the Spotify online documentation endpoint test, I correctly get results:

{ "episodes": { "href": "https://api.spotify.com/v1/search?query=football&type=episode&locale=fr-fr&offset=0&limit=20", "items": [ { "audio_preview_url": "https://podz-content.spotifycdn.com/audio/clips/5Y36ERG90G8ZDHAEDoeydm/clip_0_60000.mp3", "description": "BELLIGOABELLIGOALL FOLLOW MY SPOTIFY ACCOUNT https://open.spotify.com/user/zrt55fe0pdi08afexdut5f4k6?si=DqXcNq5HSHWMzuZPgtNfjw ", "duration_ms": 61727, "explicit": false, "external_urls": { "spotify": "https://open.spotify.com/episode/30DJ0RNxBOZSC7tekvaTOC" }, "href": "https://api.spotify.com/v1/episodes/30DJ0RNxBOZSC7tekvaTOC", "html_description": "BELLIGOABELLIGOALL FOLLOW MY SPOTIFY ACCOUNT <a href=\"https://open.spotify.com/user/zrt55fe0pdi08afexdut5f4k6?si=DqXcNq5HSHWMzuZPgtNfjw\" rel=\"nofollow\">https://open.spotify.com/user/zrt55fe0pdi08afexdut5f4k6?si=DqXcNq5HSHWMzuZPgtNfjw</a> ", "id": "30DJ0RNxBOZSC7tekvaTOC", "images": [ { "height": 640, "url": "https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6765630000ba8a28870b9d60a04e201095f9ed", "width": 640 }, { "height": 300, "url": "https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67656300005f1f28870b9d60a04e201095f9ed", "width": 300 }, { "height": 64, "url": "https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6765630000f68d28870b9d60a04e201095f9ed", "width": 64 } ], "is_externally_hosted": false, "is_playable": true, "language": "tr", "languages": [ "tr" ], "name": "Belligoal", "release_date": "2023-11-04", "release_date_precision": "day", "resume_point": { "fully_played": false, "resume_position_ms": 0 }, "type": "episode", "uri": "spotify:episode:30DJ0RNxBOZSC7tekvaTOC" }, … ], "limit": 20, "next": "https://api.spotify.com/v1/search?query=football&type=episode&locale=fr-fr&offset=20&limit=20", "offset": 0, "previous": null, "total": 1000 } }

➡️Any idea what might be wrong?
