Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/588

Hi everyone, I've been trying to access the record label of an album object, but I can only access these bits of info:

album_type
artists
available_markets
external_urls
href
id
images
name
release_date
release_date_precision
total_tracks
type
uri

I figured there would be a 'label' key for that, but I can't seem to access it through spotipy.

what album ID are you using? I think not all albums have a label. Can you try with 0sNOF9WDwhWunNAHPD3Baj?

Hmmm, I'm currently trying it for 7e7t0MCrNDcJZsPwUKjmOc and I see the label as Victor Victor Worldwide in the developer console on Spotify's website, but don't see label in the spotipy object keys.

what method are you using? (code) it works for me with album()

(I understand it's a bit shoddy, just messing around with the API for now) but I'm accessing a playlist through its uri and I'm just testing it with the first track's album. Am I accessing it correctly?

client_credentials_manager = SpotifyClientCredentials(client_id=cid, client_secret=secret)
sp = spotipy.Spotify(client_credentials_manager = client_credentials_manager)
playlist_id = 'spotify:playlist:37i9dQZF1DX0XUsuxWHRQd'

results = sp.playlist(playlist_id)
tracks = results['tracks']['items']
for track in tracks:
	track = track['track']
	track_name = track['name']
	track_artist = track['artists']
	track_album = track['album'] # using this as the album object I need to get label from
	track_id = track['id']
	break

I see the label as Victor Victor Worldwide in the developer console on Spotify's website

that's because you are looking at the get-album endpoint https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/albums/get-album/

whereas you are using a python method for the get-playlist endpoint:

https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/playlists/get-playlist/

To get the label, you will need to do another query just for the album: sp.album(album_id)

Ah, I see where I got it mixed up. I just made a query for the album itself and it worked as intended. Thank you so much for the help, I really appreciate it! 👍
