Description

API track object changes prevent filtering by source file type

Issue found of: May 13th, 2021

Endpoint(s):
  • GET /tracks

We have been using the original_format field to do some filtering for user tracks and dropping that field has broken our integration. Would it be possible to restore that field?

Research direction

Start by tracing the public API implementation and response schema for GET /tracks, then check how the track object's fields are selected. The requested change is complete when original_format is present again in track responses and existing API checks confirm it does not break the response contract.
