I am working on an app that requires to fetch all properties of a music item. Instead of adding all the items, is there a way to just say .all that adds all the properties applicable for the music item? Example: var request = MusicCatalogResourceRequest<Song>(matching: \.id, equalTo: song.id) request.properties = [.all] // Instead of request.properties = [.audioVariants, .albums, .artists, .composers, .genres, .musicVideos, .artistURL, .station] Thank you!

Hi there! I have been trying to play the music videos we get from Apple Music API and have been unsuccessful. Here's my code: var video: MusicVideo var body: some View { VideoPlayer(player: AVPlayer(url: video.url!)) } I know the URL from the MusicVideo is not in a music format but just the URL to the video in the Apple Music catalog. How do I go about playing it without using something like MPMusicPlayerController.systemMusicPlayer.openToPlay(queueDescriptor) and provide an in-app experience (and not take the user to the Apple Music app)?

Hi there! I am working on the genres screen and realised that I can directly use MusicCatalogResourceRequest for fetching genre with a particular ID: func getGenres() async {     do {       let genreID = MusicItemID("17")       let request = MusicCatalogResourceRequest<Genre>(matching: \.id, equalTo: genreID)       let genreResponse = try await request.response()       print(genreResponse.items)     } catch {       print(error)     }   } Apple Music also has an API to get the top charts genres. How would I do it without using MusicDataRequest, or is it the only way? My current approach: typealias Genres = MusicItemCollection<Genre> do { let countryCode = try await MusicDataRequest.currentCountryCode let genreURL = "https://api.music.apple.com/v1/catalog/\(countryCode)/genres" guard let url = URL(string: genreURL) else { throw URLError(.badURL) } let request = MusicDataRequest(urlRequest: URLRequest(url: url)) let response = try await request.response() let genre = try JSONDecoder().decode(Genres.self, from: response.data) print(genre) } catch { print(error) } Thank you!

Hi there! I was experimenting with the MusicCatalogChartsRequest. I have one doubt, and I do not know if it is the intended behavior. If I have the kinds as [.cityTop] and the types as [Song.self], why does it print the city playlists and the top played playlists? Ideally, it should print an empty array, right? As I have only Song as a type? var request = MusicCatalogChartsRequest(kinds: [.cityTop], types: [Song.self]) request.limit = 1 let response = try await request.response() print(response.playlistCharts) The output is: [MusicCatalogChart<Playlist>(  id: "city-top:cityCharts",  kind: .cityTop,  title: "City Charts",  items: [   Playlist(    id: "pl.db537759ae3341eaa600bc5482209f7c",    name: "Top 25: Mumbai",    curatorName: "Apple Music",    isChart: true,    kind: "editorial",    lastModifiedDate: "2022-06-21",    url: "https://music.apple.com/in/playlist/top-25-mumbai/pl.db537759ae3341eaa600bc5482209f7c"   )  ],  hasNextBatch: true ), MusicCatalogChart<Playlist>(  id: "most-played:playlists",  kind: .mostPlayed,  title: "Top Playlists",  items: [   Playlist(    id: "pl.f4d106fed2bd41149aaacabb233eb5eb",    name: "Today’s Hits",    curatorName: "Apple Music Hits",    isChart: false,    kind: "editorial",    lastModifiedDate: "2022-06-21",    shortDescription: "Drake gets loose with “Sticky”.",    standardDescription: "Among the many surprises of Drake’s <i>Honestly, Nevermind</i>—not the least of which is the album’s very existence—is that it isn’t really a hip-hop album at all; he’s mainly singing. But “Sticky” is one of the few tracks where the project’s commitment to exploring dance music—courtesy here of production work from Australian artist RY X and Gordo (aka DJ Carnage)—meets actual rapping. Add Today’s Hits to your library to stay up on the biggest songs in pop, hip-hop, R&B and more.",    url: "https://music.apple.com/in/playlist/todays-hits/pl.f4d106fed2bd41149aaacabb233eb5eb"   )  ],  hasNextBatch: true )] Thank you!

Hi there! I was using the Apple Music app and stumbled upon Categories. For example, if you search for Apple Music Party, the first result is a Category that shows a list of playlists. How do I access these using MusicKit? Is Categories Music exclusive only or available to third-party developers?

Hi there! I am trying to fetch a record label's top and latest releases. For example, for "Big Machine Label Group", I can see the top and latest releases on Apple Music. I get the latest and top releases if I use the endpoint to get a catalog record label and query parameters to extend. https://api.music.apple.com/v1/catalog/us/record-labels/1552967199?views=top-releases,latest-releases However, I am getting nil for these values using MusicCatalogResourceRequest. Here's the code: let request = MusicCatalogResourceRequest<RecordLabel>(matching: \.id, equalTo: "1552967199") let response = try await request.response() guard let recordLabel = response.items.first else { return } print(recordLabel.topReleases) print(recordLabel.latestReleases) I cannot add properties for these either to get detailed info because I think there is no PartialMusicProperty when Root is RecordLabel. Can you point me to what I am doing wrong?

Hi there! How do I go about accessing the details of the curator? For example, if I hit the following endpoint to access details about a playlist: https://api.music.apple.com/v1/catalog/us/playlists/pl.047294ae14a24e5993d1f7ab2b127188 Then, in the response, I see the curator containing the ID under relationships: "curator": {  "href": "/v1/catalog/us/playlists/pl.047294ae14a24e5993d1f7ab2b127188/curator",  "data": [   {    "id": "976439548",    "type": "apple-curators",    "href": "/v1/catalog/us/apple-curators/976439548"   }  ] } Using this ID, I can get more information like the editorial notes, kind, artwork, etc. If I use MusicKit to get details about the playlist: let id = MusicItemID("pl.047294ae14a24e5993d1f7ab2b127188") let request = MusicCatalogResourceRequest<Playlist>(matching: \.id, equalTo: id) let response = try await request.response() guard let playlist = response.items.first else { return } print(playlist.curatorName) It does not expose the Curator object but only the curatorName. How can I access the ID of the curator?

Hi there! I am trying to map the Apple Music API endpoints to MusicKit. For example, I am looking at the catalog playlist endpoints. To get a catalog playlist by its identifier, it is: let request = MusicCatalogResourceRequest<Playlist>(matching: \.id, equalTo: "pl.f4d106fed2bd41149aaacabb233eb5eb") let response = try await request.response() print(response.items) For multiple identifiers, it is:   let request = MusicCatalogResourceRequest<Playlist>(matching: \.id, memberOf: ["pl.f4d106fed2bd41149aaacabb233eb5eb", "pl.4b364b8b182f4115acbf6deb83bd5222"]) let response = try await request.response() print(response.items) To get its relationship like more by curator and featured artists, I can set the properties: var request = MusicCatalogResourceRequest<Playlist>(matching: \.id, equalTo: "pl.f4d106fed2bd41149aaacabb233eb5eb") request.properties = [.featuredArtists, .moreByCurator, .tracks] let response = try await request.response() print(response.items) My question is, how can I map the endpoint Get a Catalog Playlist's Relationship Directly by Name" to MusicKit: https://api.music.apple.com/v1/catalog/{storefront}/playlists/{id}/{relationship} The possible value of the relationship can be curator, library, or tracks. Where can I set these relationship values in the MusicKit request? Thank you!

Hi there! I know that this is not related to MusicKit but Apple Music API, but I am curious to know where to find the activities to use this identifier? Get a Catalog Activity endpoint: https://api.music.apple.com/v1/catalog/{storefront}/activities/{id} If I use the example ID given on the page, I get "Resource Not Found" error. So, where do I get the activities ID?

Hi there! I went through the Apple Music API and stumbled upon Get a Catalog Song's Relationship Directly by Name, an endpoint to fetch a song's relationship by using its identifier. If you take a look at the example given on the page: https://api.music.apple.com/v1/catalog/us/songs/1572278914/albums And see the response, it has a property called audioTraits: “audioTraits”: [ “lossy-stereo”, “lossless”, “atmos”, “spatial” ] And another one hasTimeSyncedLyrics: “hasTimeSyncedLyrics”: true Although, I cannot find these two properties in MusicKit's Song. If I hit the API directly using a developer token generated, it does not have these properties as well. I know Apple cannot disclose if these properties will be available in the future or not, but curious nonetheless.

Hi there! I am curious if the MusicPlayer from MusicKit is supported on watchOS. I have not tried it yet, and the documentation says it is only available on iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, and Catalyst. Can you please confirm? Is there a way to play it through the NowPlayingView? Thank you!

Hi there! I am fetching library songs using the endpoint: https://api.music.apple.com/v1/me/library/songs Here's the code snippet - struct Songs: Decodable { let data: [Song] } public func librarySongs() async throws { let url = URL(string: "https://api.music.apple.com/v1/me/library/songs")   guard let url = url else { return }   let dataRequest = MusicDataRequest(urlRequest: URLRequest(url: url)) do { let dataResponse = try await dataRequest.response() print(dataResponse.debugDescription) let response = try JSONDecoder().decode(Songs.self, from: dataResponse.data) } catch { print("**ERROR**") print(error) print(error.localizedDescription)     } } Trying to decode it using a custom struct gives me the following error. - **ERROR** keyNotFound(CodingKeys(stringValue: "artistName", intValue: nil), Swift.DecodingError.Context(codingPath: [CodingKeys(stringValue: "data", intValue: nil), _JSONKey(stringValue: "Index 20", intValue: 20), CodingKeys(stringValue: "attributes", intValue: nil)], debugDescription: "No value associated with key CodingKeys(stringValue: \"artistName\", intValue: nil) (\"artistName\").", underlyingError: nil)) The data couldn’t be read because it is missing. On digging through the response, I found that one of the songs doesn't have an artist name because it is just a recording of my song I added to the library through GarageBand. In this case, what should be the approach?
