GET request to the /player endpoint has unexpected return codes #1588

Open Guptacos opened 4 years ago

Guptacos commented 4 years ago

Issue found on May 28th, 2020

The documentation indicates that this call should return either a 200 or a 404 (unclear which is correct?), however it returns a 204.

Only relevant issue I could find was this, which was never followed up on.

Endpoint(s):

GET /v1/me/player/

Scope(s):

user-read-playback-state

Steps to reproduce:

Does not work in the API console, since it doesn't display error codes

Make sure there are no active devices

Use curl with verbose flag:

curl -X "GET" "https://api.spotify.com/v1/me/player" -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer __TOKEN__"

Note the return code of 204

Expected behaviour:

UNKNOWN

Return code 200 with non-populated data, as per the endpoint documentation
Return code 404, as per the player documentation

Actual behaviour:

Return code 204 (consistently)
