Retrieving a user's individual Release Radar or Discover Weekly playlist

Retrieving a user's individual Release Radar or Discover Weekly playlist

I have an app that creates a playlist based on a user's Release Radar or Discover Weekly playlists. This app has been working fine for a long time, but as of sometime this week it seems to be malfunctioning (without any changes to my code).

 

The way I currently fetch this data is through the search endpoint, which has normally returned the playlist as the first result--then I can grab the ID and continue from there. Today, it's returning what appears to be a more generic new release playlist--it has a LOT more tracks and content that would not likely show up in my Release Radar. (I haven't had a chance to check exactly what's coming back, only the output from my app.)

 

Was a change made that updated how the search functionality works? Is this just a blip that might go away? Is there any better way to get these playlists, or could one be added in the future?

You can use the Get Category's Playlists endpoint and use 0JQ5DAt0tbjZptfcdMSKl3 as category_id.

Note: you have to set the limit to 50 and offset to 0, else you don't get all playlists of the Made for you category.

Also, this won't work with Client Credentials.
