Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Aran404/SpotAPI/issues/9

This is more of a question (or a feature request).
Is it possible to get info from an episode link like https://open.spotify.com/episode/5CZlLoGOibAGX9oLh26YEk?

Anyway, thank you for your library and your time.
It's been a life saver.. 👍

The current API does not support it. I'll add this feature request to my TODO. Thanks.

Do you think it would be more suitable to make a "PublicInfo" class that has all the paginators that don't require authentication? Or just keep it in it's respectable file?

I thought that as well, I'll just point to the function in the original class to have backwards compatibility.

Nice.. It is almost a drop-in replacement, but has a few differences.

Importing PublicPlaylist from public and doing info = play_list.get_playlist_info(limit=343)["data"]["playlistV2"] produces an error, but if I import from spotapi.playlist it works.
To fix it I have to do

    info = play_list.get_playlist_info(limit=343)
    info = info["data"]["playlistV2"]

Importing PublicAlbum from public and doing info = album.get_album_info(limit=343)["data"]["albumUnion"] produces an error, but if I import from spotapi.album it works.
To fix it I have to do info = album.get_album_info()["data"]["albumUnion"]

Trying to get the playlist info using info = list(Public().playlist_info(url))[0] works fine and I can get all the items with items = [item for sublist in info for item in sublist["items"]], but unfortunately info does not include the playlist's title that I previously got with info["name"]
The same applies to the albums. Getting the items with info = Public().album_info(url) returns a generator for the album items, but there is no way to get the album's title that I use to get with alb_title = info["name"].

For the podcast part now.
I had no success with the test link I use.

If I use the info = Public().podcast_episode_info(url), I get a generator with this {'data': {'episodeUnionV2': {'__typename': 'GenericError'}}, 'extensions': {}} in it.
If I use this

        info = Public().podcast_info(url)
        for i in info:
            print(i)

I get an `IndexError: list index out of range`

These are my first observations. I'll keep investigating.. 🤓

Well, Public provides the paginators of the objects which has stayed the same from Version 1.1.1 and Version 1.1.2. I think you are confusing pagination (which parses the information somewhat) and getting the raw data. Also Public is a class full of static methods so what you'd do is Public.(methodhere).

Well, my bad. Although Public.podcast_episode_info(url) uses the class' static method and Public().podcast_episode_info(url) uses one instance's static method, the outcome is the same generator with the same error.
And since I'm using the library in a somewhat wrong way, can you please tell me what is the intended way to get the data for a playlist, an album or a podcast?

Thank you for your help..

To get the raw data, just use it the normal way by importing the specific class you want to use. Public just acts as an atlas to the underlying methods.

Yeah it is.

Well, the most recent release I see, is the 1.1.2, but this is the one I got more than a couple of days ago.
Looking at the dates though, it seems that this 1.1.2 was released yesterday.
Should I remove and re-install the same version?

I think he hasn't bumped to version 1.1.3, I downloaded the repository manually without going through pip.

I see that you're using the paginators from Public, but I was looking for a way to do it like I get the raw playlist data.
Something like

        pod = Podcast(client=client)
        info = pod.get_episode(url)

I'll have to read more of your project later, but I was hopping for 2-3 lines of code that get the podcast's data..
