^{Originally posted by apastel February 12, 2025}
I think Google changed the API regarding library albums -- seems like the 'audioPlaylistId' is coming back empty.

import ytmusicapi

yt_auth = ytmusicapi.YTMusic("./browser.json")
album = yt_auth.get_album("MPREb_DGkmQAs9Umk")
print(album["audioPlaylistId"])

This prints None for the few albums I've tried.

Didn't want to write it as a bug because I'm not sure yet if it's just a temporary issue or if they changed something in the API that's going to require a fix. Just wanted to point out what I'm seeing and if anybody else noticed it. Must have just happened in the last 24hrs.

@apastel I've linked a potential fix

But the same fix fails on CI, so I'm not 100% confident it is rolled out for everyone yet

Not only that. When you want to get all albums with method get_artist_albums(), you need browseId and params from get_artist()["albums" | "singles"]. If artist have few albums, then browseId is none and "results" contains all albums with full info. Otherwise, browseId and params is not none, so you need use get_artist_albums(browseId, params, None) to get all albums. Now in both cases browseId is none and params is not in object. Btw, object that we get with get_artist() now does not always contains "albums" and "singles"
