Missing API endpoints for prereleases

[nikolaspikolas]

My Question or Issue

Is there any way to retrieve prereleases via the API? They seem to be similar to albums but with a different resource, and the track IDs are not retrievable.

Hey, how are you? Welcome to the Spotify Community.

Currently, Spotify's public API doesn't directly support retrieving pre-releases, such as unreleased albums or singles, even if they're visible in the app's interface. These upcoming releases don't appear in search results or in the recent releases endpoint (/new-releases). Even when you know the album ID, the /albums/{id} endpoint often doesn't return tracks if they haven't been officially released yet. Alternatively, you can monitor an artist's albums with the /artists/{id}/albums endpoint, including the "album" and "single" groups, but even then, pre-releases aren't always listed correctly, and the tracks may not be accessible.

Keep me updated.

Cheers,
