type Client struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func New

func New(clientID, clientSecret string) *Client

New creates a new Spotify client, with the given clientID and clientSecret.

func (*Client) FetchGenre

func (spo *Client) FetchGenre(ctx context.Context, name string) ([]data.Artist, error)

FetchGenre does a search for artists with the given genre, fetches the first 20 pages of search results, and returns up to 1000 artists.

The request is basically,

https://api.spotify.com/v1/search?query=genre:GENRE&type=artist

FetchGenre respects Spotify's documented semantics around its rate limiter: checking for a Retry-After header when it receives a 429 response. If FetchGenre is rate limited, it won't error, but it might take a long time.
