Working with MusicKitJS V3, and with the extend key being used, I'm trying to request the animated editorialVideo in my app.

this.musicKitInstance.api.music(
  `v1/catalog/${this.musicKitInstance.storefrontId}/albums/${id}`,
  {
    extend: 'artistUrl,composerUrl,trackCount,editorialVideo,editorialArtwork',
  }
)

Looking at how music.apple.com does it, this appears to be the correct format, but the API never returns the editorialVideo in the response. Which stands out as the API will return the artistUrl in the response, just not the editorialVideo.

Is this a limitation of the API?

Hello @mhartington,

The data you are asking about is not made available by Apple Music API for third-party apps.

The only relevant extended attribute you can load for a resource of type Albums is artistUrl.

Please note that trackCount is not an extended attribute, so you should not include it in the value of the extend query parameter; it will be included in the response without you having to specifically ask for it.

Best regards,
