Search Request
Click on + Add Request to add the next step. Name the step Search for Tracks named “Up around the bend”.
Expand the Request section and change the request method to GET and enter the following URL:
https://api.spotify.com/v1/search?q=Up%20around%20the%20bend&type=track&offset=0&limit=5
Next, add two request headers with the following key/value pairings:
- CONTENT-TYPE: application/json
- AUTHORIZATION: Bearer {{custom.access_token}}
- This uses the custom variable we created in the previous step!
Expand the Validation section and add the following extraction:
- Extract from Response body JSON $.tracks.items[0].id as track.id
To validate the test before saving, change the location as needed and click Try now. See the docs for more information on the try now feature.
When the validation is successful, click on < Return to test to return to the test configuration page. And then click Save to save the API test.
