Hello,

I wanted to write a new release notification script and therefor I need to access the "album object (full)" (https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/object-model/#album-object-full) of an artist.

When I load a artists albums via

albumResult = spotify.artist_albums(artistId, album_type="album", country=spotifyMarket, offset=offset)
albums = albumResult["items"]

I only have access to the simplified data. Not the release date of an album. Can somebody help me?

@plamere spotipy is class! Very helpful. Thank you big time.

I found a solution which needs another request:

albumResult = spotify.artist_albums(artistId, album_type="album", country=spotifyMarket, offset=offset)
albums = albumResult["items"]

and for one album out of album i call

for album in albums:
album = spotify.album(album_id=album["id"])

So for every album you need another request, but it works.
