How to get the playlist that the current user is following in spotify?

I wanted to get the playlist that the user is following in the spotify api but could not seem to find the way. Can you tell me how to do this ? Thank You

Solution

  • At the moment with the Spotify Web API, you can only request all the Playlists that a User is Following and the Playlists created by the Current User with Get a List of Current User's Playlists.

    However you can see what the Owner of a Playlist is so you could use Get Current User's Profile to get the profile for the Current User. Then get all the Playlists with Get a List of Current User's Playlists and see which ones have a different Owner than the Current User, this is the only currently supported way of determining which Playlists a User is Following.
