Hello,

It seems like I only get 100 tracks from playlists of a user when using the following line:
self.spotify.user_playlist(self.username, playlist['id'],fields="tracks,next")

The API does not mention setting a limit. Is that something that could limit that request?

(if you want to see the full code, it is here: full code)

EDIT:

It seems like there is a method user_playlist_tracks which should do what I want to. I was following an example from the 'readthedocs' page though. Which misguided me a bit.

Nontheless, it is interesting that it is capped at 100 and that you can not change that. Maybe worth looking into anyway.

I know inserting into playlists is capped at 100, I'll try and verify this.

Your totally right, only brings back 100.

Spotify itself sets the 100 track limit for input/output. It's not easy to find this information, but it's listed here: https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/get-playlists-tracks/ (look for the "limit" field).

To get a full listing of tracks in a playlist, one must loop through the list using the "next" set of tracks. The file in the distribution named "user_playlists_contents.py" has an example of how to do this.
