- `ids` string, required — A comma-separated list of the artist or the user [Spotify IDs](/documentation/web-api/concepts/spotify-uris-ids). For example: `ids=74ASZWbe4lXaubB36ztrGX,08td7MxkoHQkXnWAYD8d6Q`. A maximum of 50 IDs can be sent in one request.

## Request body

- object
  - `ids` string[] — A JSON array of the artist or user [Spotify IDs](/documentation/web-api/concepts/spotify-uris-ids). For example: `{ids:["74ASZWbe4lXaubB36ztrGX", "08td7MxkoHQkXnWAYD8d6Q"]}`.

## Response `204`

## Other responses

- `401` — Bad or expired token. This can happen if the user revoked a token or the access token has expired. You should re-authenticate the user.
- `403` — Bad OAuth request (wrong consumer key, bad nonce, expired timestamp...). Unfortunately, re-authenticating the user won't help here.
- `429` — The app has exceeded its rate limits.
