"extras" parameter for tracks inside a playlist

[Orion Reblitz-Richardson]

Hi all,

I'm new to the Rdio APIs.  I'm using OAuth authentication to the Web Service API and am looking to get all tracks in a specific playlist.  The wrinkle is that I also want to return the playCount for each of the songs / tracks...

I'm using a "get" request to pull the playlist (using a key) with an extras set to "tracks", but I'd also like to get the playCount inside each track.  For example, I tried setting extras to "tracks, tracks.playCount" (to get the playCount inside each track), but that didn't work.  Is there a standard way to do this?

Thanks,

Orion

Hi Orion,

I have been meaning to update our documentation on the `extras` field.  The general concept to achieve what you're after is to use the ModelName.subfield rather than the fieldName.subfield.

In this case, you want to pass `tracks,Track.playCount` to extras.

For example: http://rdioconsole.appspot.com/#keys%3Dp3554448%26extras%3Dtracks%252CTrack.playCount%26method%3Dget

Best,

Kevin

Ah - perfect!  That seems to work.  Another quick question - is the iframe-based JavaScript playback mechanism generally available yet or still in Beta?

Thanks again!

Orion,

It's still in beta; I'll sign you up for it.

You can pass `albumCount` into the extras parameter when requesting
the Artist object. For example: http://goo.gl/QVAi9o

If the user already has the Rdio app installed and is already logged in, can my app query the rdio playlists w/out forcing the user to sign-in again?

No, your application is unable to communicate with the installed
mobile applications. You'll need to authenticate the user before you
can make API requests on their behalf.
