Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/sigma67/ytmusicapi/issues/734

When requesting my liked songs, i get only 100 tracks, despite having limit set to higher than 100.
In the response, trackCount is correct (1063 in my case).


def get_yt_liked_songs(ytmusic: YTMusic):
    l = 500
    liked_songs = ytmusic.get_liked_songs(limit=l)
    assert l < liked_songs['trackCount']
    assert len(liked_songs['tracks'])  > l # exception

I confirmed the similar bug with playlist, seems API bug from YTM currently (01/02/2025 06:38 UTC). The problem is that I always got len(tracks) = 100 no matter what even when the playlist has more than 100 songs.

Which type of authentication are you using? There is a test for exactly this case and it succeeded yesterday, so it's quite unlikely this is an issue with the lib

I dont uses any particular authentication, trying to get a list from a Public Playlist

from ytmusicapi import YTMusic
klien = YTMusic()
a = klien.get_playlist("PLQym-sGkzU7PtsnhB392EClgAb2TE-Cx7")
a["trackCount"] # 118
len(a["tracks"]) # 100

tried using limit=50, 100, 200. nothing works, tracks always output 100 items.

EDIT: I also tried using oauth, no effects

I was still using the browser auth workaround from when the auth was broken.
I set up new oauth credentials, following the documentation : https://ytmusicapi.readthedocs.io/en/stable/setup/oauth.html

Authentication worked perfectly, but i still have only 100 tracks coming out of the get_liked_songs() query

There has been a server-side update that changes how continuations work. Previously the token was returned under sectionList, now it is the last item in the returned list (i.e. item 101 if there are more than 100 results).

Working on a fix

The linked fix seems to work for me. For albums I'm seeing some strange behavior though

for https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_noLNRtYnrcRVVO9rOyGMx64XyjVSCz1YU I am getting 200 items returned on the Web. With the test I'm getting 500 (more than the advertised 456), with some items repeating (??)

@juampiq6 The issue with the search function does not exist, please read the docs: https://ytmusicapi.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq.html#why-is-ytmusicapi-returning-more-results-than-requested-with-the-limit-parameter

With my 118 songs playlist (PLQym-sGkzU7PtsnhB392EClgAb2TE-Cx7)
It just repeated first 100 songs, twices. (len = 200). The remaining 18 songs does not included inside ["tracks"]

for me too, the first 100 songs will only be duplicated in returned tracks 100...200, 200...300, and so on

Sorry about that, was a long day yesterday. Was a fairly obvious issue in hindsight. Will merge & release a patch
