Hello it seems there was an unannounced API change to the Music API. Specifically the maximum offset has been limited to 75 from 1000 for all search terms as of Jan 19, 2023. It still worked yesterday.

https://api.music.apple.com/v1/catalog/US/search?offset=1000&types=playlists&term=pop &limit=25

This used to be able to get me much more results, but now it maxes out at offset=75.

Is there a reason why it was limited? Thanks.

One thing I want to add is that if the API's data changes so often, it's very difficult to create apps for it as there is always BIG RISKS that the API can change and degrade an app or even disable it all together. Maybe more transparency or promises of what will be affected and give time instead of just changing it on whims would really help us out.

Thanks
