Discord: Discover → Your Albums (and Your Artists) was returning
nothing for Tidal users regardless of how many albums/artists they'd
favorited. Audit found `get_favorite_albums` and `get_favorite_artists`
called the deprecated `/v2/favorites?filter[type]=ALBUMS|ARTISTS`
endpoint — that endpoint returns 404 for personal favorites because
it's scoped to collections the third-party app created itself. The
V1 fallback (`/v1/users/<id>/favorites/...`) is also dead because
modern OAuth tokens carry `collection.read` instead of the legacy
`r_usr` scope V1 demands (returns 403).
Same root cause as the favorited-tracks fix from #502.
Fix: rewire to the working V2 user-collection endpoints —
`/v2/userCollectionAlbums/me/relationships/items` and
`/v2/userCollectionArtists/me/relationships/items` — using the
same cursor-paginated pattern shipped for tracks.
Architecture:
* ID enumeration lifted into a generic
`_iter_collection_resource_ids(path, expected_type, max_ids)`
helper so tracks / albums / artists all share one walker. Three
thin wrappers preserve the per-resource public surface
(`_iter_collection_track_ids`, `_iter_collection_album_ids`,
`_iter_collection_artist_ids`). Net deduped ~80 lines that would
otherwise be three near-identical copies.
* Batch hydration via `/v2/{albums|artists}?filter[id]=...&include=...`
with extended JSON:API include semantics. One request returns up
to 20 albums + their artists + cover artworks all in `included[]`
(or 20 artists + their profile artworks). Three static helpers
parse the response:
- `_build_included_maps(included)` → indexes the array by type
so per-resource lookup is O(1) per relationship ref
- `_first_artist_name(rels, artists_map)` → resolves primary
artist from relationships block; '' on missing/unknown
- `_first_artwork_url(rel, artworks_map)` → picks `files[0]`
(Tidal returns artwork files largest-first, so this gets the
highest-resolution variant — typically 1280×1280)
* Public methods (`get_favorite_albums`, `get_favorite_artists`)
preserve the prior return shape — list of dicts matching what
`database.upsert_liked_album` / `upsert_liked_artist` consume —
so the discover aggregator path in `web_server.py` stays
byte-identical. No caller changes needed.
* Deleted ~240 lines of dead code: the V2-favorites paths AND the
V1 fallback paths from the old method bodies. Both are dead
against modern OAuth tokens.
24 new tests in `tests/test_tidal_favorite_albums_artists.py` pin:
* Cursor-walker dispatch (album/artist iters pass correct path +
expected_type to the generic walker)
* Included-map building (groups by type, skips items missing id)
* Artist + artwork relationship resolution (full + missing rels +
unknown id + no files cases)
* Batch hydration parse for albums (full attributes, missing
relationships fall through to defaults, type-filter excludes
non-album entries, `filter[id]` param is comma-joined)
* Batch hydration parse for artists (same shape coverage)
* End-to-end orchestrator behavior (walk → batch → return,
empty-input short-circuits without API call, BATCH_SIZE chunking
on 41 IDs → 20/20/1, exception-from-iter returns [])
Endpoint paths empirically verified against live Tidal API:
`userCollectionArtists/me/relationships/items` returned 200 + 5
real artist refs for the test account. `userCollectionAlbums/...`
returned 200 + empty (account has 0 album favorites currently)
but the response shape is correct. The deprecated
`/v2/favorites?filter[type]=ALBUMS` returned 404. The V1
`/v1/users/<id>/favorites/albums` returned 403 with explicit
"Token is missing required scope. Required scopes: r_usr" message.
