Hi,
Since today, we are no more able to do DELETE/PUT request on the Apple Music API.
So, we can't update a playlist details, delete a playlist, delete tracks in playlist, delete tracks in library...
Old methods allowed are now returning only an HTTP Code 403.
Why this change in the Apple Music API ? We can hope that will be back soon ?
Is there any update on this? I think that reordering playlists and deleting tracks should be an essential feature in the Apple Music API, and that not having these features, severely limits its usability.
Hello @HeyImHere,
We do not communicate status of any feature request other than to say that we are either investigating the feasibility, or that we have released an update including said feature.
In this particular case, all I can say is that we have heard the request.
If you are interested in this, it would be helpful for you to file a ticket on Feedback Assistant explaining your use-case for DELETE and PUT methods in Apple Music API. Even if others have filed similar tickets, your use-case may be a bit different, and we want to hear about it. And, internally, we use the number of duplicate requests as a signal that helps us prioritize the various things we may want to improve on.
Thank you very much for your feedback.
Best regards,
Joining the party here to say I'd also like to be able to delete songs/albums from a user's library. For dupe purposes, here's the FB I filed in June 2021: FB9195700
For anyone interested, the DELETE API already exists, but you need a "special" developer token fetched from music.apple.com and Music-User-Token accordingly to call it. Steps are as follows:
MusicKit.getInstance().musicUserToken to get your user tokenMusicKit.getInstance().developerToken to get the privileged developer tokenThen you could try the DELETE API
curl --location --request DELETE 'https://amp-api.music.apple.com/v1/me/library/songs/{songId}' \
--header 'Music-User-Token: {The User Token you got}' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJFUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCIsImtpZCI6IldlYlBsYXlLaWQifQ.eyJpc3MiOiJBTVBXZWJQbGF5IiwiaWF0IjoxNjQ2NDM1NTgxLCJleHAiOjE2NjE5ODc1ODF9.Ob5bfZBWLDlDkR4r5fNXIjp1Y1G0qY5mP9MVBm1mDFjG701_6AcZS6nwjk-CMJE2b8VLv1JWxKR5j5BDkKxQ7w'
