I am building an app for MacOS and I am trying to implement the code to add songs to a library playlist (which is added below). The issue I am having is that if I use Music Kit to load a users library playlists, the ID for the playlist (which is just a string of numbers) does not work with the Add tracks to a Library Playlist endpoint of Apple Music API. If I retrieve the playlists from the Apple Music API and use that playlist ID (which is different than the id I get from MusicKit) my code works fine and adds the song to the playlist. The problem is that when getting a users library playlists from Apple Music API is that it does not give me all of the library playlists that I get when using Music Kit and it also does not give me Artwork for playlists that have the collage of album covers, so I would prefer to use Music Kit to get the playlists. I have also tested trying to retrieve a single playlist using the Apple Music API with the playlist Id from Music Kit and it does not work. I get the error that the resource cannot be found. Since this is a macOs app I cannot use MusicKit to add songs to library playlists. Does anyone know a way to resolve this? Or a possible workaround? Ideally I want to use MusicKit to get the library playlists and have some way to use the playlist Id and add songs to that playlist. Below is my code for adding a song to a playlist using the Apple Music API, which works correctly only if I originally get the library playlist's id value from a playlist retrieved from the Apple Music API. Also, does anyone know why the playlist Id's are not universal and are different when using Music Kit and Apple Music API? For songs and tracks it does not seem to matter if I use music kit or Apple Music API, the Id's are in the correct format for Apple Music API to use and work with my code. Thanks everyone for any and all help! func addToPlaylist(songs: [Track], playlist: Playlist, alert: Binding<AlertItem?>) async { let tracks = AppleMusicPlaylistPostRequestBody(data: songs.compactMap { AppleMusicPlaylistPostRequestItem(id: $0.id.rawValue, type: "songs") // or "library-songs" }) let playlistID = playlist.id // Build the request URL for adding a song to a playlist guard let url = URL(string: "https://api.music.apple.com/v1/me/library/playlists/\(playlistID)/tracks") else { alert.wrappedValue = AlertItem(title: "Error", message: "Invalid URL for the playlist.") return } // Authorization Header guard let musicUserToken = try? await MusicUserTokenProvider().getUserMusicToken() else { alert.wrappedValue = AlertItem(title: "Error", message: "Unable to retrieve Music User Token.") return } do { var request = URLRequest(url: url) request.httpMethod = "POST" request.setValue("Bearer \(musicUserToken)", forHTTPHeaderField: "Authorization") request.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type") let encoder = JSONEncoder() let data = try encoder.encode(tracks) request.httpBody = data let musicRequest = MusicDataRequest(urlRequest: request) let musicRequestResponse = try await musicRequest.response() // Check if the request was successful (status 201) if musicRequestResponse.urlResponse.statusCode == 201 { alert.wrappedValue = AlertItem(title: "Success", message: "Song successfully added to the playlist.") } else { print("Status Code: \(musicRequestResponse.urlResponse.statusCode)") print("Response Data: \(String(data: musicRequestResponse.data, encoding: .utf8) ??

Hi! Im attempting to make a spotify to apple playlist converter and to do so am using the Catalog search functionality of the api. My question is, is there anyway to convert these songs to apple music urls (or ids) that does not spam api calls. I know you can batch catalog searches if you have apple music song ids, but I obviously dont have that since the song was shared from spotify. Any ideas/help is appreciated!

Hello, I have a question related to the public iTunes Search API: https://performance-partners.apple.com/search-api Do all the books have an ISBN associated? I used to do queries like: https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?isbn=9781501110368. That book is available on Apple Books here: https://books.apple.com/us/book/it-ends-with-us/id1052928247 and the endpoint above returns informations about it. However for newer books like: https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?isbn=9781419766954 https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?isbn=9781250288776 Nothing comes back anymore even if those books exist there. The url's for the 2 above are: https://books.apple.com/us/book/hot-mess-diary-of-a-wimpy-kid-19/id6476554491 https://books.apple.com/mt/book/the-mirror/id6474420363 For newer books starting the beginning of September 2024, nothing seems to come back when you search them by ISBN. Thanks

Hello, This is about the Get Catalog Top Charts Genres endpoint : GET https://api.music.apple.com/v1/catalog/{storefront}/genres I noticed that for some storefronts, no genre is returned. You can try with the following storefront values : France (fr) Poland (pl) Kyrgyzstan (kg) Uzbekistan (uz) Turkmenistan (tm) Is that a bug or is it on purpose ? Thank you.

I'm developing a Raycast extension that using Apple MusicKit API, is it safe to store developer tokens in Raycast extensions?

I'm trying (in Swift) to use CryptoKit to generate the required JWT for the Apple Music Web API, as documented (sort of) here. But I'm getting 401s no matter what I try. I found some examples of generating JWTs online, but something isn't working here. I've set up my identifiers and gotten an API secret through my account in the dev portal. It's associated with an identifier requesting Music API access (I requested all three available Music-related capabilities). For the secret, I'm using the long key string from the .p8 file I generated and downloaded from the dev portal. Here's what I've tried: struct APIToken { struct Header: Encodable { let alg = "HS256" let kid: String } struct Payload: Encodable { let iss: String let iat: String let exp: String } static func tokenize(keyID: String, issuerID: String, secret: String) -> String { let privateKey = SymmetricKey(data: Data(secret.utf8)) let headerJSONData = try! JSONEncoder().encode(Header(kid: keyID)) let headerBase64String = headerJSONData.base64EncodedString() let currUnixTime = Int(Date().timeIntervalSince1970) let expUnixTime = currUnixTime + 5 * 2628288 // five months of seconds let payloadJSONData = try! JSONEncoder().encode(Payload(iss: issuerID, iat: "\(currUnixTime)", exp: "\(expUnixTime)")) let payloadBase64String = payloadJSONData.base64EncodedString() let toSign = Data((headerBase64String + "." + payloadBase64String).utf8) let signature = HMAC<SHA256>.authenticationCode(for: toSign, using: privateKey) let signatureBase64String = Data(signature).base64EncodedString() let token = [headerBase64String, payloadBase64String, signatureBase64String].joined(separator: ".") print(token) return token } } I also tried making sure the base64 strings are URL-safe with this extension: extension Data { func URLSafeBase64EncodedString() -> String { return base64EncodedString() .replacingOccurrences(of: "+", with: "-") .replacingOccurrences(of: "/", with: "_") .replacingOccurrences(of: "=", with: "") } } but that made no difference. All the documentation says is A decoded developer token has the following format. { "alg": "ES256", "kid": "ABC123DEFG" } { "iss": "DEF123GHIJ", "iat": 1437179036, "exp": 1493298100 } After you create the token, sign it with your MusicKit private key using the ES256 algorithm. Am I not doing that? Any insight appreciated.
