Spotify Web API Request: GET Queue

There still seems to be no API endpoint for the queue is there any hope in getting one added?

Do you want the current playback queue? If so, it's available here:

https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/#/operations/get-queue

I think it's a recent(ish) addition, as it wasn't previously possible to get the current queue, but it works great - it also handles shuffled lists etc. which my old work-around couldn't.

I"ll have to test it when I get more time. This main issue is after a song has been listened to it removes itself from the queue and when I hit that endpoint again it won't have any previous songs. I think I can piece together something that will keep up with everything added to a queue

I created two functions, one to get previous tracks and the other to get future, as well as rendering the current track. Originally I tried hacking something together by getting future tracks in the playlist if one was played, but the new endpoint is much better.

You can consider https://developer.spotify.com/console/get-recently-played/ for the recent tracks, I think that'll give you a list of tracks you can reverse sort and show the newest 3 or something as past played.
