getRecentlyPlayedTracks has extremely limited history

[ertyseidohl]

Hi -

Thank you for providing this library! I'm trying to use it to write a script to get all of my tracks played in a specific time range, so that I can easily make a playlist out of the songs played at, for example, a party.

However, it seems to only return the 50 most recently played tracks (from now), even though the track history data is available in the mobile web app, or through the account data export (with a 30-day wait time). The call provides before and after cursors, but these will always be empty with a limit of 50.

I've written a small proof-of-concept app at https://github.com/ertyseidohl/playlist-maker, with more details about the bug in the README.

Please let me know if there's any additional information, help, etc. that I could provide. I think this could be a really fun app!

Thank you!

Is anyone currently working on this? If not, I'd like to take it on. This would be my first contribution to open source.

I appreciate the enthusiasm, but as I understand it, this is a problem with their backed (closed-source) API, and not something that can be fixed on the front-end.
