Hi,

I'm working on an integration with the Apple Music Feed, but over the last day, I've been getting a 500 Upstream Service Error on 99% of the API calls I make.

Remarkably, retrying the same endpoint 20-30 times sometimes gives the correct response, but mostly it's a 500 error.

Just to give an example, this:

GET https://api.media.apple.com/v1/feed/album/latest

Returns this generic error:

 {
    "errors": [
        {
            "id": "U4ARRA2QDCGYKYRI2IPEJVBTHY",
            "title": "Upstream Service Error",
            "detail": "Call to get metadata for album feed failed",
            "status": "500",
            "code": "50001"
        }
    ]
}

The same goes for other feeds like song, artist, and so on.

Before today, I did get the same error message sometimes, but a few retries would solve the issue.

Any insight on what's happening and/or an ETA on fixing it?

Thank you

I’ve been experiencing the same issue since mid-January.

     "errors": [
        {
            "id": "UU7XJDV5KGYO5CXRWK7TTSL4IQ",
            "title": "Upstream Service Error",
            "detail": "Error adding resources to library",
            "status": "500",
            "code": "50001"
        }
    ]
}

Really frustrating!
