Hi all,

I am having some issues with the catalog/update API call. It seems that using a dictionary for the fp_code (fingerprint code), always results in a unknown error. Using it without a dictionary worked, however we need to specify the correct version.

The following curl calls reproduce the issue. Note that the catalog name needs to be inserted, the CATALOG_ID, and the FINGERPRINT_CODE.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Create catalog:

curl -F "api_key=N6E4NIOVYMTHNDM8J" -F "format=json" -F "type=song" -F "name=*CATALOG_NAME*" "http://developer.echonest.com/api/v4/catalog/create"

Execute update, resulting in unknown error:

curl -X POST "http://developer.echonest.com/api/v4/catalog/update" -F "api_key=N6E4NIOVYMTHNDM8J" -F "data_type=json" -F "format=json" -F "id=*CATALOG_ID*" -F "data=@req.json"

req.json:

[
    {
        "action":"update",
        "item":
            {
                "item_id": "0CF07A178DBF78F7",
                "fp_code" : { "code" : "*FINGERPRINT_CODE*", "version" : 4.12 }
            }
    }
]

Hi projectm,

Good catch! It looks like we haven't yet updated the catalog/update call to deal with multiple fp code versions. I have added this to our queue and we will look into a fix. In the meantime I think your workarounds are either to use the raw codestring, or use the song/identify call with a specific version and then use the resulting song_id as the item to resolve in a taste profile.

Hi Tyler,

thanks for the response! Is there any way for me to follow the status of this issue, or can you give some ETA? Are we talking days, weeks, months?

Unfortunately I am unable to use the raw string. It turns out that my generated fingerprints are not recognized if the wrong version is used (I use version 4.11). The other option will work, but is unacceptable.

This API call is highly important to my app. I use the catalog to identify songs in a batch. The app runs on mobile devices, so a round trip to the server for each song takes too long.

I'm looking forward to your response.

Hi Projectm, I'm also trying to figure it out how the catalog update works. Till now I've just understood that if you use ENMFP as fingerprinting, this kind of block works.

When I'm using Echoprint fingerprinting I always have to cut away the version in order that it works.
