Hi,

I'm trying to retrieve all tracks in a playlist, but can get only 100:

import spotipy
import spotipy.util as util
from spotipy.oauth2 import SpotifyClientCredentials

credentials = SpotifyClientCredentials()
token = util.prompt_for_user_token(
    username='ferniss',
    scope='playlist-modify-private')
spotify = spotipy.Spotify(auth=token)
sp = spotify

uri = 'spotify:playlist:0kNHFNoDBVu9u8SpwgWTos'
username = 'ferniss'
playlist = sp.user_playlist(username, uri)

for idx, track_dict in enumerate(playlist['tracks']['items']):
    track = track_dict['track']
    features = sp.audio_features(track['uri'])[0]
    print(idx + 1, track['name'], features['tempo'])

Output:

1 Song To Say Goodbye 165.033
2 Strange Desire 129.405
3 Middle Brother 170.224
4 Barbara Ann - U.K. Remaster 79.258
5 Black Talk - Instrumental 133.413
[...]
90 Money For Nothing - Edit 134.238
91 Paradise City 100.26
92 Funk 49 92.478
93 Fear Of The Dark - 1998 Remastered Version 109.25
94 Bourée - 2001 Remaster 118.59
95 Am I Wrong 112.65
96 Alabama Song [Whisky Bar] - New Stereo Mix Advanced Resolution 173.974
97 Iron Man 156.654
98 People Are Strange 119.665
99 L'orage 125.682
100 La Tormenta 145.551

whereas this playlist has many more songs. Is this documented? Am I missing anything?

@fepegar have a look at the playlist_tracks endpoint:

I see, thanks! I think that didn't exist back when I wrote my code. Isn't there a way to just get all the tracks?

@fepegar nope because a playlist can contain up to 11k tracks, it could possibly time out with so much data
