Description

Spotify's API changes broke a large part of psst. Several developer Web API endpoints were retired and the api-partner (pathfinder GraphQL) began rejecting psst's OAuth developer token. This issue tracks the status of restoring or replacing each affected area.

General:

  • partner_auth() Login5 bearer + client-token for api-partner (#745)
  • Better error handling / display for pathfinder GraphQL

Artist page:

  • Restore discography (#746)
  • Restore info & related artists (#747)
  • (Add a "Load more" button for discography)
  • Remove profile.externalLinks, field gone

Home page:

  • Restore home page (#745)
  • Make generated ("algorithmic") playlists fetchable again (#754)
  • Fix intermittent missing field 'data' on startup

Shows / Podcasts:

  • Make show/podcasts episodes load again (#755)

Songs:

  • Add "Song Radio" (related to generated playlists, would also add #189)
  • Remove deprecated "Show Similar Tracks", endpoint gone

Start with the unchecked checklist items and linked issues #754 and #755, then inspect the affected Spotify Web API and api-partner (pathfinder GraphQL) flows. Done means the selected endpoint or page behavior is restored, deprecated fields and endpoints are removed or handled, and the affected functionality can be verified.
