My Question or Issue

I received a 500 or 502 error when performing a GET request for the /users/{user_id}/playlists operation. To reproduce this error, use the following curl command. Please ensure you replace TOKEN_HERE with your Bearer token:

curl -X GET "https://api.spotify.com/v1/users/%7B'isrc':%20'USUG12402984'%7D/playlists" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN_HERE"

The example in your question shows a irsc instead of an user id. That is never going to work.

Hi Ximzend,

You're right, using an IRSC instead of a user ID was incorrect. A 400 status code should be the appropriate response for this type of error (or 404 as it is a wrong path parameter). A 500 error indicates an internal server error, and a 502 error indicates that one server on the internet received an invalid response from another server.
