Unable to Use Likes Argument

[Wesley Martin]

soundscrape idkidc1 -l

results in:

Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0) Process finished with exit code 0

I've also attempted using --likes

Note:

• I am able to successfully get basic track downloads from this artist.

• I am able to successfully get likes from other artists.

This artist has a high number of likes.

Could this be a problem with failure to return JSON payload from the likes page ?

How to debug?

Any response or assistance is appreciated.

looks like same issue as #253

[Mark Davidoff]

Seems like this happens:
use requests to get the user id of the user you want likes for:
userId = str(client.get('/resolve', url=artist_url).id)
use soundclound client to get a page of the user's favorites
resolved = client.get('/users/' + userId + '/favorites', limit=200, linked_partitioning=1)
if there is a next_href to indicate there is a next page (there is in this case), get info on that page as json.
resolved2 = requests.get(next_href).json()
^ this actually fails with : 401: {'code': 401, 'message': '', 'link': 'https://developers.soundcloud.com/docs/api/explorer/open-api', 'status': '401 - Unauthorized', 'errors': [], 'error': None}
then we try to access "collection" on that dict which does not exist

[Mark Davidoff]

so 2 things i see wrong with this,

1. so it seems pagination is not correctly implemented as requests does not have the permission that the soundcloud client has
2. '/users/' + userId + '/favorites', is deprecated, (use /users/:userId/likes/tracks instead, to fetch a user's likes)

@Miserlou potential fix: #254

[Mark Davidoff]

@wesleymartin234 here I've updated my pr, this should work #254, but that user has 2029 likes are you sure you want to download all that?
