Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/731

Describe the bug
When I use any of the playlist functions to fetch the contents of the playlist it returns the available_markets field regardless of setting market=None.

Your code

from spotipy.oauth2 import SpotifyClientCredentials
import spotipy
import json

sp = spotipy.Spotify(auth_manager=SpotifyClientCredentials(client_id="clientID",
                                                           client_secret="secret"))

playlist_id = 'spotify:user:spotifycharts:playlist:3PGHzE2Tqab3V5xH6JyVcW'
results = sp.playlist_tracks(playlist_id, market=None)

fw = open("dump_tracks.json", "w")
fw.write(json.dumps(results, indent=4))

Expected behavior
I'd assume it prints the regular output except for the available_markets field.

Output

# ... continued JSON string

Environment:

OS: Windows/Artix
Python version 3.9.7
spotipy version 2.19.0
your IDE VScode

Additional context
If I am just missing something stupid I'm sorry. But I'd like to get the results without it so I don't have to correct it in python.

Thank you for the URL, I found that I needed to specify the market value to remove the field, using something like market="US"
