Recommendations webapi endpoint includes hidden artists

kukawskicorp — Wed, 04 Sep 2024 23:43:24 GMT

The endpoint

https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/get-recommendations

includes results of "hidden" artists of user that token was used to make API call

is there way through API to filtter this out or get rid of?

Hi kukawskicorp, could you please provide an example of these hidden artists? Maybe also the request you are doing to get these?

I don't know, I see new threads and replies in other parts of the community. Could you try to post it again, it doesn't have to be super extensive, just something for us to follow up on and see if we can reproduce.

Ok, here is a good example:

API request URL :

https://api.spotify.com/v1/recommendations?limit=100&seed_artists=6hUkLvzORaeTWL0lx3GW5n&min_duration_ms=240000&min_tempo=125&max_tempo=150

in recommendations response it recommends track that is "Hidden" to not play (due to dislike or other reason):

token was used from the user ID "qkuczek"
