It works on my end. Can you please show me some of your code to see if there is a bug in it?

I use spotipy library in python.

import spotipy
from spotipy.oauth2 import SpotifyOAuth
sp = spotipy.Spotify(auth_manager=SpotifyOAuth(client_id=client_id, client_secret=client_secret, redirect_uri=ruri, scope="playlist-modify-public",username=os.getenv('SPOTIFY_USER_ID'),cache_path=".cache"))
def create_playlist(name,tracks):
    if tracks == []:
        return None
    playlist = sp.user_playlist_create(user=os.getenv('SPOTIFY_USER_ID'), name=name, public=True)
    sp.user_playlist_add_tracks(user=os.getenv('SPOTIFY_USER_ID'), playlist_id=playlist['id'], tracks=tracks)
    return playlist['id']

When this didn't work, I went to this page in Web API docs and called the API from there. And the created playlist was not public either.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you for sharing.

I tested your code, and the created playlists are getting added to my profile ( = public).

One remark: sp.user_playlist_add_tracks() is deprecated, and you should use sp.playlist_add_items(playlist_id, items, position=None) instead. (API reference)

Thank you.

But there is still a issue. I can see the playlist under Pubic Playlists in My Profile page but when I copy the url to an incognito tab spotify cannot find the page. I tried searching the playlist by name but it didn't work either.

It's weird you can not access your created playlist in private mode with a link. (Mine just work fine.)

But, it takes time before google indexes a playlist, and many playlists don't get indexed at all.
