Hi there!

I was using the Apple Music app and stumbled upon Categories. For example, if you search for Apple Music Party, the first result is a Category that shows a list of playlists.

How do I access these using MusicKit? Is Categories Music exclusive only or available to third-party developers?

Hello @snuff4,

Many of these categories are represented by Apple Music API as resources of type AppleCurators and kind "Genre". I confirmed that it's the case for this "Apple Music Party" one.

As noted in this other thread, those specific resources are not exposed in MusicKit.

Best regards,
