Issue

I have my own playlist (id 3iVmOK4xPYNKHXJ6jfOWzo). In spotify applications (desktop, web, mobile) mentioned playlist is empty, but when invoking 

curl -X "GET" "https://api.spotify.com/v1/playlists/3iVmOK4xPYNKHXJ6jfOWzo/tracks?market=CZ" 

I get 2 tracks.

 

I'm very confused as those tracks are not playable and I don't know why I get them in the 1st place... I see it as an inconsistency with spotify application...

Hey @nocach, thanks for coming to the Developers board!

 

Some tracks might become unavailable due to content restrictions. That's why they won't show up in the client but are still in the playlist. There's more information about this here: https://support.spotify.com/article/content-missing/.

 

You can make these visible/removable in the client by following these steps:

  • Android: 
    1. Tap Home then Settings
    2. Under Playback, switch Show unplayable songs on.
  • iOS:
    1. Tap Home then Settings
    2. Under Playback, switch Hide Unplayable Songs off
  • Desktop:
    1. Click on the downward arrow then Settings.
    2. Under Display Options, switch Show unavailable songs in playlists on.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Have a good one,
