My Question or Issue

 

Using the example ("Doxy" by Miles Davis) for search in the developer console yields no results.

 

It seems like the API does not (or stopped?) accepting percent-encoding of the 'q' query param. So translating from "remaster%20track:Doxy+artist:Miles%20Davis" (on the input) to "remaster%2520track%3ADoxy%2Bartist%3AMiles%2520Davis" (in the CURL request) breaks it.

 

Direct link to example: Search for Item | Spotify for Developers

 

Observed behavior:

curl -X "GET" "https://api.spotify.com/v1/search?q=remaster%2520track%3ADoxy%2Bartist%3AMiles%2520Davis&type=track%2Cartist&market=ES&limit=10&offset=5" -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer BQBMXo1D1Em2MT213QJhyzdgTEmMIp3kQ99o5DRQ431u3UKfT-dXroPtjR2QfzhtsIiJ8L3SivUNs8BY8jNBkLstSQFjyxsGYalytyYqN-KZ0pXhNeipeXfqcGEsZFQ3ZtvvuqnDQ-KA3YCutBZuIn5Q0HYLVaQQusFuuFGAyFDWMzU"
