API: /playlists/search endpoint dose not return albums #8842
Description
https://discoveryprovider.audius.co/v1/playlists/search?query=Funasitien only return albums, wheras https://discoveryprovider.audius.co/v1/full/search/full?query=Funasitien did return an album
But Funasitien, this is not the album endpoint, this is the playlist one!
The issue is there is no album endpoint existing. I belive that albums are also playslit, but are wrongly indexed (the is_album value exist in the playlist shema, sooo)

Thanks for the report! You are correct that albums and playlists are both using the same schema. We refer to them as "collections" internally but haven't updated the api to reflect that.
I would recommend using the full search endpoint and using the
albumsfield in the response. I'll create a ticket to fix theplaylists/searchendpoint!DOGECOIN87 commentedon Oct 13, 2026
/v1/playlists/searchnow excludes albums (it filtersis_album = false), so the mixed-results part of this is fixed. What was still missing is a way to search only albums. I've opened AudiusProject/api#1053, which addstype=albumto/playlists/search, matching the existingtypeparam on/playlists/topand/playlists/new-releases. Happy to change it to a separate/albums/searchroute if you'd prefer.
