get_saved_tracksA

Get the current user's saved (liked) tracks.

Returns tracks from the user's library, sorted by most recently saved. Supports pagination via limit (max 50) and offset. A rich signal for playlist building since liked songs reflect explicit user preference.

Add tracks to a Spotify playlist.

Accepts a list of track IDs or URIs (max 100 per call). Tracks are appended to the end of the playlist.

Removes all occurrences of each track. Accepts track IDs or URIs (max 100 per call).

replace_playlist_tracksA

Replace all tracks in a playlist with the given list, in order.

This is useful for reordering a playlist. First get the current tracks with get_playlist_tracks, reorder the IDs as desired, then pass the full ordered list here. The playlist will contain exactly these tracks in exactly this order.

Accepts a playlist ID or URI. Use this to save playlists found via search or shared by others.
