"Play Item" endpoint in the Web API seems to be missing

"Play Item" endpoint in the Web API seems to be missing

Hi,

recently I'm using Player endpoints from the Web API and I'm wondering why functionality like "Play Item" is missing. Only the "Add Item to Playback Queue" and "Skip To Next" endpoints are available, while simply playing the song (like pressing the play button in the Spotify application) seems to be a basic functionality. Is there anything that I've overlooked?
 
Thanks for the help!

You can use the Start/Resume Playback endpoint for this.

Ximzend,

 

thanks a lot! I don't know how it happened that I didn't notice those body parameters:)
