Search - missing results

Search - missing results

I am building an app where you search for albums by artist and / or album name.

Most queries work as expected. But I have a case where using Spotify console I get correct results but the same query in my app returns completely different. 

 

Developer console returns correct:

https://developer.spotify.com/console/get-search-item/?q=artist:nationalteatern&type=album

 

Query in my app (.NET) returns only three results. 

https://api.spotify.com/v1/search?q=artist%3Anationalteatern&type=album

 Any theories?

Hi!

As you are not providing a market for this query, it might be getting it from the user's the access token belongs to, and maybe there's only 3 albums available on that market. For us, our default market is US.

Hi!
Thanks for your response, this was indeed the issue. Is it possible to somehow specify "all" ?

No. As we are willing to provide only available content to the user.
