Missing title/name Fields in /v1/audiobooks/{id} Response

Missing title/name Fields in /v1/audiobooks/{id} Response

Hi all–

 

I’m building an app that uses the Spotify Web API to fetch audiobook metadata from the /v1/audiobooks/{id} endpoint.

 

For most audiobooks, the response includes the expected fields like title, name, authors, etc. However, for certain audiobooks (for example: 75WbZ659ooVGYp3eSTpKlw) the API response is missing both the title and name fields entirely. The rest of the data (authors, chapters, publisher, images, etc.) seems intact.

 

This makes it tricky to display meaningful information about the audiobook. I’m currently falling back to using the title of the first chapter as a substitute, but this is obviously not ideal.

 

Is this a known issue with certain audiobooks or a content ingestion inconsistency?

Would appreciate any insight or workaround — and ideally, consistent inclusion of the title field across all audiobook records.

 

Thanks in advance!

I tried querying `75WbZ659ooVGYp3eSTpKlw` using the endpoint mentioned, and found the book with a name (or title if you'd like), Wishful Drinking by Carrie Fisher. 

There is no title field for audiobooks, rather there is name. Are you seeing the same? Perhaps something resolved itself from the time you reported it till now?
