How do I get artist ID? #6

Closed mabushey closed 9 years ago

mabushey commented 9 years ago

On the musicbrainz web site, searching for the artist Slave Raider ( https://musicbrainz.org/search?query=slave+raider&type=artist&method=indexed ), I see the Artist ID is 49950dec-e4c4-4177-808d-bab8ab028665.

In search_artist.go, I changed the artist.

Name: Slave Raider Score: 100

All the 100 does is tell me how good of a match 49950dec-e4c4-4177-808d-bab8ab028665 ID is, but it doesn't provide the ID! I fail to even grasp what this purpose of this example is. How do I get the artistID?

just change artist.Name to artist.ID in the example and you'll see the artist’s mbid instead. The purpose of this example is to show you how you can use gomusicbrainz to do a simple search request.
