Developer Site Web-API reference Docs not working

Device

Iphone 6 - Safari

My Question or Issue

When accessing the page at

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

it asks you you to select an endpoint from the drop down menu. As soon as I do nothing happens and there is no “go” button.

see attached photos

Not a fan of the new Reference page - the old docs were great

The new version changed the categories in a way that doesn't make sense ("Get Recommendations" is now under "Artists" as "Browse" category is missing, even thought the endpoint return tracks and takes seed artists, tracks, and genres)

Important documentation is now missing on using filters in /search ?q= queries like "track:<track>+ artist:<artist>". Can be partially inferred from /search ?type param description, but have to guess that categories.

Also confusing that the old docs style and categories still live on the Console section: https://developer.spotify.com/console/browse/

The old Reference Docs were great, bring them back 🙂

Just tried it gain and it STILL isn’t working

Also just trying on my Mac and when ingo

to the Docs menu at the top the options window drops down, as soon as I move my cursor downwards to select something the whole “drawer” menu disappear and I can’t select anything.

Poor testing before this was rolled out!!!

On my Mac I was able to get to the reference page by clicking on the main top menus that were available. And then selecting options on the next page and then again.

after arriving to the API/reference page on Mac on Safari. There is no “Select You Section” element.
