Problem with create playlist via API

[honoluluman2]

On my WordPress installation I am using the following body values to send via API along with wp_remote_post in order to create an empty playlist.

$body = [
'id' => $playlist_ID,
'name' => $playlist_title,
'type' => 'default',
'source' => 'songs',
'order' => 'random',
'remote_url' => null,
'remote_type' => 'stream',
'remote_buffer' => 0,
'is_enabled' => false,
'is_jingle' => false,
'play_per_songs' => 0,
'play_per_minutes' => 0,
'play_per_hour_minute' => 0,
'weight' => 5,
'is_jingle' => false,
'include_in_requests' => false,
'include_in_on_demand' => false,
'backend_options' => [ '0' => ''],
'avoid_duplicates' => true,
'schedule_items' => [],
'num_songs' => 0,
'total_length' => 0,
];

the new playlist is being created with success but for some reason the 'id' value is not the one from $playlist_ID. Does anybody know why this is happening? It keeps creating its own value and i would need to pass my value.

@honoluluman2 This is not possible via our API because our playlist IDs are auto-incrementing fields in the database. You will get a response back indicating the ID that was assigned in the database and should use that to track the newly created playlist in your own application.
