How to Get a Random Song with Preview URL by Genre?

[soyxz]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to fetch a random song by genre using the Spotify Web API, but I'm running into some issues. Most of the endpoints I've tried (like recommendations or search) either seem deprecated or they don't consistently return tracks with a preview_url.

My goal is to get a random track from a specific genre, and ensure it has a preview_url.

Is there a recommended approach or combination of endpoints that would allow this?

Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Due to changes in the Web API, `preview_url` will no longer be available to new clients. More info in blog post.
