Hi there!
I was experimenting with the MusicCatalogChartsRequest. I have one doubt, and I do not know if it is the intended behavior.
If I have the kinds as [.cityTop]
and the types as [Song.self]
, why does it print the city playlists and the top played playlists?
Ideally, it should print an empty array, right? As I have only Song
as a type?
var request = MusicCatalogChartsRequest(kinds: [.cityTop], types: [Song.self])
request.limit = 1
let response = try await request.response()
print(response.playlistCharts)
The output is:
[MusicCatalogChart<Playlist>(
id: "city-top:cityCharts",
kind: .cityTop,
title: "City Charts",
items: [
Playlist(
id: "pl.db537759ae3341eaa600bc5482209f7c",

standardDescription: "Among the many surprises of Drake’s <i>Honestly, Nevermind</i>—not the least of which is the album’s very existence—is that it isn’t really a hip-hop album at all; he’s mainly singing. But “Sticky” is one of the few tracks where the project’s commitment to exploring dance music—courtesy here of production work from Australian artist RY X and Gordo (aka DJ Carnage)—meets actual rapping. Add Today’s Hits to your library to stay up on the biggest songs in pop, hip-hop, R&B and more.",

Thank you!
Oh I see. Fair enough. I just forgot about that small implementation detail.
Yes, I suppose our current client-side implementation does diverge from Apple Music API in that regard.
I think you should file a ticket on Feedback Assistant about this. We can probably improve this area of the MusicCatalogChartsRequest.
Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards,
