The Spotify API groups both Singles and EPs in the same category (singles):

However, it clearly has an internal flag to mark a single as an EP, as made apparent by the metatags:
Both of these releases are classified as "single" by the API endpoint. Unless I'm blind, I wasn't able to find an elegant way to differentiate between the two types.
I did try to mess around with some hard numbers, such as saying "if a Single has a total duration of over 20 minutes, consider it an EP". However, then you have nonsense like this:
Yes, that is a 51 minute SINGLE! Spawned from the stupid trend to release singles in a stacking fashion rather than having a single be a single.
I'm lost what else I could do now. The info for what is classified as an EP is clearly there, but Spotify won't provide an endpoint for it.
