Solved!

Response after creating playlist returns artist object instead of a playlist. wth?

I'm trying to give users an option to create a private playlist from the app. 

I followed documentation and my request successfully creates a playlist on user's account (I can see the playlist on my profile) but the response that comes back doesn't contain any information about the playlist. Instead a completely irrelevant artist object is sent back.

 

Here's an URL from the request:

 

"https://api.spotify.com/v1/users/adwienc/playlists"

 

 

Here's body of the request:

 

{"collaborative":false,"description":"Queue","name":"Plum-Queue","public":false}

 

 

And here is the JSON response:

 

{
  "external_urls" : {
    "spotify" : "https://open.spotify.com/artist/7c5qu1gNlg8jWDzzmlp89O"
  },
  "followers" : {
    "href" : null,
    "total" : 88545
  },
  "genres" : [ "bboy", "deep house", "electronica", "indie soul", "nu disco" ],
  "href" : "https://api.spotify.com/v1/artists/7c5qu1gNlg8jWDzzmlp89O",
  "id" : "7c5qu1gNlg8jWDzzmlp89O",
  "images" : [ {
    "height" : 640,
    "url" : "https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5eb210cc6db3a8f24c1036c3051",
    "width" : 640
  }, {
    "height" : 320,
    "url" : "https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67616100005174210cc6db3a8f24c1036c3051",

  }, {
    "height" : 160,
    "url" : "https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000f178210cc6db3a8f24c1036c3051",
    "width" : 160
  } ],
  "name" : "Kraak & Smaak",
  "popularity" : 51,
  "type" : "artist",
  "uri" : "spotify:artist:7c5qu1gNlg8jWDzzmlp89O"
}

 

 

This must be a bug. Spotify, please fix this

Does this bug still occur? I tested it through the console and it worked for me.

This issue stopped occurring. Maybe it was a temporary bug
