Invalid type: ${type}

Error message

Invalid type: ${type}

What it means

Thrown as InvalidParameterError by the Mixcloud route when the :type path parameter (defaulting to 'uploads' or 'playlist') is not a key of TYPE_CONFIG. The valid types are uploads, reposts, favorites, listens, stream, and playlist; anything else is rejected before the GraphQL call.

Solutions

1. Use one of the valid type keys: uploads, reposts, favorites, listens, stream, or playlist (omit type entirely to default to uploads).
2. For a playlist, also supply the playlist slug via the playlist path segment per the route definition.
3. Check the route's description table in the source for the current mapping of labels to keys.

const type = ctx.req.param('type') ?? (playlistSlug ? 'playlist' : 'uploads');
if (!Object.hasOwn(TYPE_CONFIG, type)) {
    throw new InvalidParameterError(`Invalid type '${type}'. Valid: uploads, reposts, favorites, listens, stream, playlist.`);
}

function isMixcloudType(type: string): type is keyof typeof TYPE_CONFIG {
    return typeof type === 'string' && Object.hasOwn(TYPE_CONFIG, type);
}

When it happens

Trigger: Caller requests /mixcloud/<username>/<type> where type is e.g. 'shows' (the old label), 'history', 'stream1', or a typo. Object.hasOwn(TYPE_CONFIG, type) is false, so it throws.

Common situations: User uses a human-readable label from the docs table (Shows/History) instead of the actual key (uploads/listens); URL copied from an outdated doc; trailing slash or case mismatch.
