Faved Tracks

[PDT]

Hey Remi,

I am putting the finishing touches on the new version of Mixtapes, and
I wanted to check with you if some as yet undocumented parts of the
API support getting the list of tracks 'faved' by a user.

What about followers, and following?

Hi Paul, great to hear a new version is coming out.

We've had followers and following in the API for a while but not
favorite tracks. I just hacked it together quick.

http://8tracks.com/users/1/follows_users.json
http://8tracks.com/users/1/followed_by_users.json
http://8tracks.com/users/1/favorite_tracks.json

Hope this works for you, let me know.

Remi

lol, thanks Paul.

This may be asking a lot, but, is it possible to include the "faved-by-current-user" flag on the favorite_tracks response?

[Remi Gabillet]

Paul, it makes the call a lot less efficient unfortunately so I'd rather not.

I'd rather keep the response as small as possible and support
parameters in order to request more data, I'll try to get something
working...

It's not a real big deal, I just noticed it because I have a 'favorite' button next to the tracks that is lit up if you already faved the track. When you look at your own profile, you would expect that they would all be lit up already.  I worked around it by lighting the buttons by default when looking at your own profile.  It means you won't notice you already faved a track when looking at someone else's profile, but I think I can live with that.

The total-pages element does seem to be missing from the favorite tracks reply.  I bet that is an easy one to fix.
