Getting/setting cookie doesn't work

[polyclick]

I've tried the method as described here to get the session cookie. At the moment I don't get HQ urls back.

I've tried both Chrome & Firefox, made sure I was logged out before starting. I also tried different albums because I thought some just might not have the HQ property at all.

Any Idea?

PS: the session cookie value looks different in Chrome vs Firefox, both none of both work for me.

Cheers!

Ok, further investigation, I do get the streamUrlHQ property back. But not on the bcfetch.album.getInfo method but on the bcfetch.track.getInfo.

Maybe the example in the readme section is wrong? Or should the album endpoint support getting back the HQ url?

Just tested bcfetch.album.getInfo() on an album that I purchased. Each element of the tracks array does contain streamUrlHQ.

import bcfetch from 'bandcamp-fetch';

const albumUrl = 'https://anitatatlow.bandcamp.com/album/lights';  // Album I purchased

const params = {
  albumUrl,
  albumImageFormat: 'art_app_large',
  artistImageFormat: 'bio_featured'
};

bcfetch.setCookie(<my cookie>);  // Set cookie

bcfetch.album.getInfo(params).then((results) => {
  console.log(JSON.stringify(results, null, 2));
});

Result:
