Discover Weekly playlist appears as null when using Get User Playlists API

MEI012Bolt — Mon, 02 Dec 2024 11:54:06 GMT

I have a simple script that looks through a user's playlists (in this case I use to browse through my own) and I then search for a playlist named "Discover Weekly" which should be my Discover Weekly playlist. Ever since last week, my script no longer works because, apparently the Discover Weekly playlist is no longer on the result list. I noticed that the result list comes with a "null" value which I think is where the Discover Weekly playlist should be.

You can even try it on the Spotify Web UI for the API, by going to the Get User's Playlists and putting my username "gamed7" and click on "Try it" (make sure offset is 0). The result list comes like so:

```
...
"items": [null, ...]
```

Due to the recent changes by Spotify
Changes to Web API - The Spotify Community

Part 8 of the changes is the one stopping you.
Let's hope Spotify revert the changes.

Ah, I see, when I read that I didn't conclude that Discover Weekly would be included but that makes sense. I thought I would not be able to generate Discover Weekly like playlists, but I would be able to read the ones that were already generated. That's a shame

Yep sadly you can't read any Spotify owned ones.
Editorials, Daily, Release Radar etc.

You can comment on the post how you feel, maybe Spotify well revert it.
I had two app break due to the changes. 😞
