Is it possible to play open.spotify links with start_playback?

[timlag1305]

I was reading through the Spotify web API documentation and I think this a limitation on their side. However, I thought I'd ask here anyway. I would like to play songs via https://open.spotify.com links rather than URIs when calling start_playback. Is that possible? If not, is it possible to convert the links to URIs?

Sorry for not getting your point, it seems what you want is nothing to do with Rspotify, right?

You're right, this is not directly related to Rspotify, but I am using this information in software that uses rspotify. I was looking at understanding how to convert a URL to a URI for the Spotify. In any case I'll close this. I figured it out anyway.
