My Question or Issue

I am trying to get the title or id of the podcast i'm listening to on spotify.

currently using this endpoint for playback information:

response = requests.get("https://api.spotify.com/v1/me/player", headers=headers)

on tracks it returns information about the song and artist under "item"

on podcast episodes this item is always "none".

Hi.  Check the documentation on the endpoint here - https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/get-information-about-the-users-curren... - especially the part about passing the "additional_types" parameter.

Essentially, if you want tracks and episodes, you should call https://api.spotify.com/v1/me/player?additional_types=episode
