Description

Authenticated and/or premium plays should not count towards rate limit

Endpoint(s):
  • GET //tracks/{track_id}/streams
Scope(s):
  • All (Authorization code grant)

It's logical that there is a rate limit on the APIs for streaming. But as logged in users, and especially Premium users, it is a limiting factor. It would be nice if steamed with an oauthToken didn't count towards that limit.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the rate-limit behavior for GET //tracks/{track_id}/streams and the Authorization code grant scope described in the issue. Confirm how authenticated and Premium plays are counted today; done means those plays no longer consume the streaming API rate limit.
