GraphQL API: Playback

Skip to the next or specific track

Tracks in the playback queue can be skipped. It returns the MutationStatus to indicate the success of the skip and it returns the next item in the playback queue. Some subscription tiers have skip limits and if this is reached an error will be returned.

Podcast episodes, video ads and audio ads cannot be skipped.

If for some reason you want to check if a skip will be successful without performing the skip, you can use the checkOnly field. This will return the same results (status and next item in queue) but not perform the skip. If a skip would not be successful it will return an error.

The index field value should be set to the current track index that you want to skip.

The targetIndex field can be used if you want to skip to a specific index and not the next item in the queue. This feature is limited to Premium users and only allowed for on-demand sources (like albums), other sources can only take the next or previous index. The latter will perform a replay for Plus and Premium Users. For a Free user, the targetIndex field provides a normal skip (to next item in queue).

The itemId field can be used if you want to skip to a specific pandora Id within a source. This is available for on-demand sources (like albums), but not for stations.
