My Question or Issue
I am using the Web-API for a project. I found multiple tracks, where the field "preview_url" is null in the response (nearly half of those I tested). Tried with client credentials authentication and authorization code. I get the same response, with "preview_url" set to null each time. I am wondering why I do not get null when trying the same request with the Spotify API on rapidapi.com (https://rapidapi.com/Glavier/api/spotify23/). Also setting a market where the track is available does not solve the problem.
Example track ids where this occurrs:
- 37ZJ0p5Jm13JPevGcx4SkF
- 0QPRDC97rIQB3Jh3hrVJoH
- 1kPpge9JDLpcj15qgrPbYX
- 2tGvwE8GcFKwNdAXMnlbfl
- 4ZtFanR9U6ndgddUvNcjcG
- 5wANPM4fQCJwkGd4rN57mH
- 6uxYfENm7zw050dNUi031W
Example URL:
https://api.spotify.com/v1/tracks?ids=37ZJ0p5Jm13JPevGcx4SkF&market=IT
