"/v1/browse/categories/inspirational" throwing an error #123

Closed MattLowden closed 8 years ago

MattLowden commented 9 years ago

Hello,

I'm trying to use the https://api.spotify.com/v1/browse/categories/{category_id} API endpoint, but for certain category_id values an error is thrown: Specified id doesn't exist.

The two IDs I have experienced this error with are kpop & inspirational, however, all other IDs appear to work fine.

I've tried this method both with and without the country parameter & get the same results each time.

I'm also pulling the list of category IDs using the https://api.spotify.com/v1/browse/categories endpoint, so the IDs I'm passing on to the https://api.spotify.com/v1/browse/categories/{category_id} endpoint are definitely correct.

It's also worth mentioning that when sending the kpop & inspirational IDs to the https://api.spotify.com/v1/browse/categories/{category_id}/playlists endpoint, there is no error & the requested playlists return correctly.

Thanks in advance, Matt

Hi Matt, Sorry for the delay. When trying to replicate I don't see those two categories in the list returned by https://api.spotify.com/v1/browse/categories- are you specifying a particular region or locale when requesting the list of IDs?
