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

Research direction
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.
