Sometimes when I make a playlist request, I receive the following error back:
message: "The Identifier specified does not exist"
The identifier (in this case, the taste profile ID) definitely does exist. I've verified this with 'tasteprofile/list' and 'tasteprofile/read' calls
It would be great if I could get a response to confirm if it's a bug or not as this is the 3rd possible bug I've reported and haven't heard anything back yet. Thanks!
Hi,
Is the song upload down? It was working 5 mins or so ago but now it just gives a TCP error.
I've manage to narrow it down to the track skip. If I increment the skip count of a track, the Taste Profile can no longer be used in a playlist request without returning an error. If I increment the play count this doesn't seem to cause a problem
Can you post the specific requests you're sending that don't work (the full URL, except your API key)?
Hi, thanks for getting back
Here's a playlist request which causes the error: message: "The Identifier specified does not exist"
http://developer.echonest.com/api/v4/playlist/static?api_key=XXX&results=10&type=catalog&seed_catalog=CAZMIZZ14A1FCCE4E5
...and here's the request I'm using to verify there are tracks in this identifier: http://developer.echonest.com/api/v4/tasteprofile/read?api_key=XXX&format=json&id=CAZMIZZ14A1FCCE4E5
I'll pop a couple of example links to my other 2 bug report threads
Here's a couple of example links. The first one includes the bucket and will never show tracks by Cleff. The second one has the bucket removed and will usually return more tracks including tracks by Cleff.
http://developer.echonest.com/api/v4/playlist/static?api_key=XXX&results=10&type=catalog&min_tempo=75&max_tempo=95&sort=tempo-asc&bucket=audio_summary&seed_catalog=CAZWSDF1498C4ADC80
http://developer.echonest.com/api/v4/playlist/static?api_key=XXX&results=10&type=catalog&min_tempo=75&max_tempo=95&sort=tempo-asc&seed_catalog=CAZWSDF1498C4ADC80
p.s. if anybody else has the same problem, a work around is to make the request without the bucket, take the ENID's and then compile a request like this:
http://developer.echonest.com/api/v4/song/profile?api_key=XXX&format=json&bucket=audio_summary&id=XXX&id=XXX&id=XXX....
Hi, it would be a MASSIVE help if you could return the 'item_id' of a track when I make a playlist request, or alternatively a song profile request. At the moment, it's not always possible for me to know the ENID of a track, therefore I'm forced to make a separate API call for each individual track name to resolve the ENID. Being able to get the item_id when requesting a playlist could mean 90% less calls!
Thanks, Simon
Never mind. I've just realised that this is already possible with &bucket=id:[my taste profile ID] :)
The year 2015 is upon us, and with the new year comes new home design trends. Color is making a bold reappearance in the home décor world. Where it used to be beige and neutral colors in style, now the brightest colors are the new style. When you are filling out your Christmas wish list this month, don’t forget to make room for new home décor. If you are ready to revamp your home décor with the latest trends, but you don’t know where to start, here are some suggestions!
Popular colors for your home
If you want to incorporate color into your home, but you have a fear of going over board with the color, do not worry, you do not have to start out by throwing a rainbow into the room. Choose one or two colors to start with, and add more if necessary. The most popular colors for 2015 according to House Beautiful are Greek Blue, Sour Green, and Fuchsia. Of course, these colors do not have to be used together. Choose one of them as the color of your curtains and throw pillows, and then add more color if you need more. If you are not ready for the bright colors, pastels, grays, olive green, and warm tones are also in style, making 2015 the year of home décor trends for people of all style preferences!
Mixing colors in one room
If you have more confidence in mixing colors, add personality to a room by mixing bright colors such as Fuchsia, pinks, Aqua blue, and Lime green. Let the colors enhance specific features of the room, for instance, let the pinks soften the bedding, and the green enhance the natural lighting. Colors can be scary to work with, but if you make them work for you in these ways, they bring a room together rather than make it overwhelming. Do not be afraid to add new color trends to your current furniture and home décor. It is actually a major trend to incorporate bright colored and mismatched throw pillows to classic furniture, so before you run out and purchase all new furniture, work with what you already have to bring a modern trend to your home without breaking the bank.
Inspirations for home decor
Artwork is becoming the inspiration for home décor. A new trend of colors such as deep greens, plum, and cerulean blue mixed with beige and white reflects Renaissance artwork. Interior designers are finding their color inspiration from historical artwork, and they are also bringing unique paintings and historical artwork into the home as décor. Pairing classic artwork with modern décor and furniture is unexpected and adds dynamic character to a room. Finding a painting that you love and using most of the colors from the painting to decorate a room adds a one-of-a-kind personality to a room, and makes it intriguing and interesting for visitors, and let’s face it, we decorate our home mostly to impress our guests!

Hi,
This is a bug, sorry about that.
We'll have a fix out in the next few days.
something new?
Is it possible to make a query where there are multiple song types such as song_type=live:true&song_type=acoustic:false&song_type=christmas:true to be returned in a playlist
That should work, yes!
gregory,
Our recent problems were cleared up. Echoprint appears to be responding normally.
David
That's great. Thanks
Thanks for reply David!
I was trying to get a track ID from a Rdio's URL (http://rd.io/x/QekWETcvG5k/), but it looks like it can't be done. Rdio have a method for this in their own API (getObjectFromUrl) and another method to get it from the Shortcode (getObjectFromShortCode), which is that code in the end of their URLs.
I need this so the user can share a track from Rdio app in Android directly for my app.
Of course I could use Rdio API, but I would like to be able to use only Echo Nest API for now.
Spotify and Deezer, for example, have their song's ID on their URLs, so it's very easy to parse it, but it's not the case of Rdio, and maybe it's not the case for others.
Looks like it is down again
Exactly, tested early and got 2 or 3 times to succeed. But for more than hours had no return ...
