One of the cool things about Spotify is the ability to view playlists created by both users and artists.
You can get a list of playlists for any user with: https://api.spotify.com/v1/users/{user_id}/playlists
This will work if you plug in an artist's user id as well.
Example: https://api.spotify.com/v1/users/officialfoofighters/playlists returns playlists created by Foo Fighters (the actual band).
The problem is that I see no way to programmatically get an artist's user id. The actual artist id is different and will not work. I managed to manually get Foo Fighter's user id in a hacky way using the Spotify desktop client, but I would like to find a programmatic solution.
Anyone know of any workarounds?
