Since today I am unable to get the playcounts for any track. Only getting the folling error:

Did something change on Spotify's side?

After the server is up for a while, it can get disconnected from the Spotify access point and any request will timeout. Adding a way to automatically connect to a different Spotify access point when this occurs can fix this.

Hey guys I was planning to host this amazing program on a server.
I thought about Heroku, but I am struggling to deploy and start the program since I cannot find a way to inject the and while running the file.
Has anyone already done it and can help me ? Or suggest another host ?

Thanks in advance

Describe the bug
When starting the application error "PremiumAccountRequired" occurs

To Reproduce
Start the application

Expected behavior
To be able to login

Screenshots/Stracktraces/Logs
Screenshots if applicable, stacktrace and log is a crash occurred.

Version/Commit
1.4.1

Issue seem related to this in LibreSpot:
librespot-org#614

I saw there is a javascript version using nodejs, and then a java version. Is there any plans to do a python version as that would be very useful to use. Thanks!

Also, how can I host this API for myself and utilize it from my own server? Doesn't seem that straightforward Thanks!

hi, i'm currently using this api.t4ils.dev endpoint, it works fine but sometimes it gets too many request error. i'm assuming you're hosting this on glitch now. is there a tutorial somewhere that i can follow to host it on my own?

Getting the following error when hitting the artist endpoint.

An unknown error occurred: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'

Not seeing this error with the album endpoint. Any ideas what this could be?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Not a problem per se, but I'd like to be able to retrieve monthly listeners and follower counts for artists.

Describe the solution you'd like
Another endpoint like the album playcounts endpoint e.g. /artist/:id/metadata

Describe alternatives you've considered
Manually doing it in the Spotify Desktop app...slow and manual.

Additional context
I've looked into your "Let's try this out" commit @evilarceus and it looks like we'd probably achieve an Artist MetaData solution by using the MercuryRequest class...I saw an artist-related method in there that seems to get meta data. It might be as simple as creating a new endpoint that uses that method under-the-hood.

Hello,

On one of the previous versions of this project, someone requested a description showing how this project works. I don't think you ever posted one, but I would be very interested in learning more about it as well.

Also, what are the approximate limits of the API (both the version you host, and one we host ourselves)? If I wanted to call it thousand times per day, is that possible? What are the constraints? If hosted ourselves, don't we have to use our own Spotify account(s) and if that is the case, are there limits to how many api calls one can make?

Thanks!

Seems to be an issue with the cache.

Was trying to test the api. Getting an Application Error on all calls. Was testing with Postman and keep getting this error "Application Error".

Describe the bug
When I run the program it is giving the following error.

To Reproduce
java -jar sp-playcount-librespot-v1.4.jar user pass

Has anyone been able to fix an issue that as of a few days ago this will not run on Heroku. The error is Bad Credential. Even though credentials log in just fine locally.

Exception in thread "main" xyz.gianlu.librespot.core.Session$SpotifyAuthenticationException: BadCredentials

Anyone else having this issue?

The Artist Insights call has an array of playlists. The listeners value for every playlist is always 0

"listeners": 0

The /getalbum endpoint gives this error about half the time I run it -

{"success": false, "data": "Error while querying: Session is closed"}

Is there something I can do to prevent this happening? I've seen a few others with this issue so I think it's a bug with the api but any help would be amazing :)

I know you have to use the username + password when starting the jar. Is there a way to effectively "logout", and use a different credential? Curious about this because I have different playlists on different Spotify accounts. thanks!

Describe the bug
As of today, /artistInfo endpoint started returning 403 Forbidden as API response. It also logs a 403 MercuryException to the console. All other endpoints including /artistInsights work perfectly fine.

To Reproduce
Make a request to /artistInfo endpoint on a running local deployment OR test via the public API at https://api.t4ils.dev/.
For example; Björk :
do a GET to https://api.t4ils.dev/artistInfo?artistid=6TwO05VN5ZM3DYVEsP9vjK
or http://localhost:{{YOUR PORT}}/artistInfo?artistid=6TwO05VN5ZM3DYVEsP9vjK

Expected behavior
The endpoint was working as expected until yesterday and returned also the artist's release info.

Version/Commit
Latest version 1.4.1, by running the compiled script with USER and PASS

It seems the hosted API is currently returning errors only. Whatever I try (albums or artists) I get the following result:

{"success": false, "data": An unknown error has occurred; logged to console}

Could you add a way to get the playcount for each song in a playlist?

Thanks!

I am trying to install playcount on a Ubuntu machine via the command line, but I wasn't able to as my knowledge is limited on linux.

Also could not find any tutorial on how to do it on the internet. Could anyone post here step by step instructions on how to do it from scratch.

I have it running on windows but I wanted to try it on Ubuntu.

I appreciate a lot your help

https://api.t4ils.dev/ is not working

Describe the bug
When querying the artistInfo endpoint, only the first 8 albums include the list of tracks, after that it stops including them.

To Reproduce

1. Query https://api.t4ils.dev/artistInfo?artistid=74KM79TiuVKeVCqs8QtB0B
2. Look through data.releases.albums.releases and data.releases.singles.releases
3. Notice how the discs attribute disappears starting from the single called "On My Way"

Expected behavior
This info should be included for every track if possible. I'm building a shortcut for iOS and would like to avoid the overhead of calling albumPlayCount individually for each album.

Screenshots/Stracktraces/Logs
N/A

Version/Commit
Whatever the current version on https://api.t4ils.dev is at the time this issue was created.
Version used or commit pulled if compiled locally.

I was just trying to check the different endpoints, and seems that with this link I get this error SyntaxError: JSON.parse: expected ',' or '}' after property value in object at line 1 column 30 of the JSON data because there are some " outside the {}

This error is given when I try to see the json response with the Mozilla viewer, it does not happen with the other endpoints.

Playcounts are missing for random tracks.

It seems that a total combination of 8 albums and singles will include playcounts. eg. If the artist has 4 albums .. then those 4 albums will have playcounts in tact... and up to 4 singles will have playcounts.

If the artists has no albums... 8 singles will have playcounts.

Everything after 8 items doesn’t have playcounts.

Trying to figure out if this is a bug in the code or a limit Spotify is controlling.

I could really use some help figuring this out.

Hello, your code is a lifesaver. Thanks so much!

Is it possible to add Gallery Images and/or Social Media Links to artistInfo?

If possible, a playlist endpoint with followers and songlist would make this project 100%.

Hey, is there a way we can get playcount of singles/tracks which are not a part of album?

If not, can we have an endpoint where we'll pass the song id and it gives playcount and other details of the single in response?

Thanks for this amazing project :)

Hey, so I'm trying to run the 1.4.1. JAR version, but it always returns the same error
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at com.spotify.Authentication$LoginCredentials$Builder.setUsername(Authentication.java:3732) at xyz.gianlu.librespot.core.Session$Builder.userPass(Session.java:1009) at dev.t4ils.Main.main(Main.java:16) I've tried using the username and the UUID, and even created another account, but I can't see to find the problem

Describe the bug
I'm installing sp-playcount-librespot through the .jar file. When running the jar file in the terminal along with my Spotify username and password , I get "Unable to access sp-playcount-librespot.jar".

To Reproduce

1. Download the .jar file
2. cd into the directory where this .jar file is stored
3. Run java -jar sp-playcount-librespot.jar <username> <password>

Expected behavior
According to the installation guide , a config.toml file should be generated.

Hello, It says that you can get the followers of the artists, but actually what you get is only the monthly listeners.
Will be the artist followers feature be added in the future ?
