Dear community,

Is there any way to access the "Made for You" playlists by Android SDK or via the Web API? I can’t find a robust way that could access user-specific Discovery Weekly, Daily Mix, On Repeat, etc. playlists. Some of them appear as the first result if I explicitly search them by name with the logged-in user, but some of them are not (like the Daily Mix playlists). Moreover, if there is a new Spotify user not yet having an On Repeat or a Repeat Rewind generated playlist, random other playlists with similar name appear on top instead. Why is it a problem? Because this way, I even cannot assume that the first result will be the one generated for the user (to me it would be ideal, even if it is empty).

In my opinion, the best solution would be to introduce a separate endpoint to fetch user specific playlists. But if there is already a robust workaround, please let me know.

----------My use case---------- I develop a song quiz application based on Spotify playlists. One playlist is the bank of songs to guess in one game. I would like to offer the logged-in user all the Spotify generated user-specific ones to play with, without her/him having to do anything.

Thank you!
