This recipe was an interactive walkthrough in the previous portal. Each step below names the API call it makes; open it in the API Reference to try it.

Getting Started

Introduction

Welcome to this API Recipe, where we'll show you can get the Tracks for a user saved album, even when you don't know the Album ID. This API Recipe will help you navigate through the API endpoints effectively, ensuring you can access the desired information efficiently.

Details

During this walkthrough, we'll be utilizing two key endpoints to achieve our goal:

  1. Get User Saved Albums: This endpoint allows us to retrieve a user saved albums, crucial for identifying the album we're interested in.

  2. Get an Album's Tracks: Once we've identified the desired album, we'll use this endpoint to fetch the tracks within that album. This step requires passing the Album ID obtained from the previous endpoint.

Note: For this API Recipe, we'll automatically pass the Album ID of the first Album fetched in Step 1. However, you can update the Album ID if needed.
