C2W2 - Graded Assignment 2 : Broken following 2024/11/27 Changes to Web API from Spotify

Thanks @PressureDrop for your feedback

@PressureDrop and @Deepti_Prasad, I also confirm that the maximum I could achieve is 65/100. It seems it’s not possible to validate the lab in its current state.

Here’s the breakdown :

Total score 65/100
Creation of Cloud9 Environment 10/10
Get Featured Playlists Response Output 15/15
Paginated Featured Playlists Response Output 0/15
Paginated with Next Featured Playlists 0/20
Python file endpoint.py 20/20
Python file main.py 20/20

Can anyone achieve a better result?

Hello everyone.
I have asked the authorities about whether we can accept 65 as a passing grade for now. I will update you as soon as I get an answer.

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for reporting the issue with the API endpoints of the C2W2 assignment. We apologize for not getting back to you earlier as we had Thanksgiving holiday in the US.
We will update the assignment and switch the endpoints used with two other endpoints of the same Spotify API, so the content of the lab will be exactly the same but it will be adapted to go with the new endpoints. I will check with the team to get an exact time estimate when the new lab will be released and get back to you here by the end of my day (it’s now morning my time). If updating the lab will take time, then I will check with the team to see if we can adjust the grading of the current lab so you can pass the current lab and proceed with the course. However, we’d love that you take the working version of the lab. I’ll get back to you as soon as possible!

Thank you so much for your patience! Please let us know if you have any other concerns.

Hello everyone.
I have been informed that the lab has been update. In the new version, we are using a new endpoint that still functions in the API.

Thank you so much @Amir_Zare !

Yes, we updated the lab. It now uses these two endpoints:

@Amir_Zare, I noticed that this Graded Assignment is now marked as “overdue” for me. Could you please clarify what this status means exactly?

Did you refresh and update the lab, for the changes made later? as the chances are the endpoint issue might have caused that main.py and endpoint.py file not to be graded correctly.

@Amir_Zare is the mentor for the course, he probably will guide you further as I am not course specific mentor for this course.
