Pagination does not work on /v1/artists/{id}/albums

[silicogevler]

Initially, I tried to make paginated requests for this endpoint from my application. But I found that even with enough total, I get an empty list of items. as far as I understand, if the offset is less than the total, then everything should work.

As I checked, this does not work for all authors and markets.

For example: https://api.spotify.com/v1/artists/0TnOYISbd1XYRBk9myaseg/albums?include_groups=single%2Cappears_on&...

I have the same problem.

I use spotify tools : 

In my browser's console :

No results in ITEMS

I managed to get around this problem by doing separate requests for each of the album types (ie 'album', 'single', 'appears_on' and 'compilation')

For some reason, when I am only using 1 album type the problem of having empty pages does not arise. I then collate the responses into 1 dataset.

Python example:

albums = []
for album_type in ['album', 'single', 'appears_on', 'compilation']:
    page = self.spotify_client.artist_albums(artist_id, limit=50, album_type=album_type)
    while page:
        albums.extend(page["items"]) 
        page = self.spotify_client.next(page)

 I hope this helps someone because I struggled with it for a long time and it seems to have been an issue for many years.

You legend. I was having the same issue but this workaround solved it.
