Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/360

I've found how to get all albums given an artist, but couldn't find how to get the singles and eps anywhere on the documentation.

Here is a link to the info on the documentation:

artist_albums(artist_id, album_type=None, country=None, limit=20, offset=0)
Get Spotify catalog information about an artist’s albums

Parameters:

artist_id - the artist ID, URI or URL

album_type - ‘album’, ‘single’, ‘appears_on’, ‘compilation’

country - limit the response to one particular country.

limit - the number of albums to return

offset - the index of the first album to return

You'd have to check how EP's are listed, but my guess is they'd be under singles.

Filtering by album_type is the way to go

Is there a way to ask for more than one option in the same request? I tried with a list like album_type=['album', 'single'] but didn't work.

@ekinig https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/search/search/ shows you can separate types with a comma: album,single

Yes, I saw that also in the get-artists-albums API page, but unless I am doing something wrong, in spotipy it's not working

sp.artist_albums('spotify:artist:3NKVm2Jedcf6ibJr6pMUVx',
                     limit=50, album_type=['album', 'single'])

returns two items, both of type album , but that artist has many singles.

Did you try with a single string?

sp.artist_albums('spotify:artist:3NKVm2Jedcf6ibJr6pMUVx',
                 limit=50, album_type='album,single')

It worked 😶. That is definitely not a python list, but I guess the API is not just for python. Thank you
