DELETE Method - Remove Playlist Items Broken

API cal to remove items from playlist no longer works. A 200 status code and snapsho_id is returned, but no item has been removed.

Hey @kingdavid108, welcome to the community. Are you still having trouble with this endpoint? If so, it would be great if you could share a snippet of your code here and we can try to help that way.

The endpoint: https://api.spotify.com/v1/playlists/the_playlist_id/tracks

Body of my request: {"tracks":[{"uri":"spotify:track:the_track_uri_here"}]}

FYI, i even tried using the web console provided by Spotify and that still didn't work.

Everything used to work before.

I just tried this myself and it appears to work fine. However I also noticed if you attempt to DELETE a track that is not in the playlist you get the same result as if it was in the playlist. I would suggest that you double check that you have the correct URI and that the URI corresponds to the track you're expecting to delete. Can you share the full request body?

https://api.spotify.com/v1/playlists/0V9HTfbR8JjAZr6wH4JpPQ/tracks

this is the payload, {tracks: [{uri: "spotify:track:2vXgyN14LX2zl7JEASw242"}]}

It is my understanding that a track may have a different URI based on the market, maybe that has something to do with my issue? When i share the song from the playlist, the URI is different from the one provided to my application.

EDIT: My app was fetching the playlist contents twice which led to the behavior.
