Machine Tags for tag_list not retained after upload.

[arnavs1ngh]

Title: Machine Tags disappearing on fetch.

Issue found of: October 23rd, 2024

Endpoint(s):

• POST /tracks
• GET /me/tracks

Scope(s):

• Authorised Application

Steps to reproduce:

• Upload track with machine tags sucessfully
• Fetch latest tracks from me/tracks

Expected behaviour:

I am uploading a track successfully and the track upload response shows the track uploaded with the machine tags as expected in the tag_list.
I fetch the track with the API and see the machine tags.

Actual behaviour:

Machine tags are not present in the tag_list on GET.
See example responses below:

Response on POST (omitted unecessary details - tag_list only relevant property.):

[SOUNDCLOUD] Response: {'kind': 'track', 'id': ---, 'created_at': '2024/10/23 18:05:09 +0000', 'tag_list': 'Showcase "host:name=IC RADIO" instagram:account=icradio', ...}

Response on GET:

{'kind': 'track',  'id': ----,  'created_at': '2024/10/23 18:05:09 +0000',  'tag_list': ' Showcase', ...}

I understand that machine tags are not revealed to the user on the track pages - but I would expect them to be seen via the GET - correct me if I am mistaken.

tags should be be hashtags so one word or separated words with underscore something like #chill #techno and so on. Not an advertisement or urls, so it could be not accepted on our anti abuse systems. Hope that answered your question. Maybe you can try with just single word tags_list comma separated and see whether it works for you or not

I understand the use case is outside the standard - but why is it that your own reference implies that this should be possible?

I don't have an issue in adding a standard set of tags.

From the reference, have you tried using just 'tag_list': 'host:name=IC RADIO" instagram:account=icradio', without Showcase and double quotes?
