Shotgun Artists API

Idriss Neyl

Hello, it would be amazing if we could have an API integration to fetch Artist stats. Some apps or websites could then give another source of reach for Shotgun and for the artists.

Hey, what kinds of stats would you like to fetch, and why? Thanks!

Idriss Neyl

Quentin FRERY Hello Quentin, thanks for the quick reply

I would like to get these stats :

Shotgun followers number
the listing of the past and future event :

-- the information of the events (date / location / organizer)

-- the number of the events

Artist profil data : Photo and bio (we can fetch by our side the social media)

We'll be able in our side to display pretty good cards with these informations, especially for the events part.

I'm thinking about 2 ways to connect :

Option 1 : Shotgun for Artists API -> ID + API Key (like Organizer)
Option 2 : Shotgun for Artists Integration by direct connexion (account credentials)

Option 1 will be great because we can maybe fetch more details later, if you improve this actual request.

IMPORTANT : By default, we don't have integrated yet Soundcloud direct connexion.

Idriss Neyl Ok got it thanks. Can you please explain to us why you need that information? What are you planning to build with it, and what is the expected outcome?

Thanks

Quentin FRERY I'm looking for these informations in order to create a website which help organizer to book artists and to give the opportunity for the artists to get viewed by a lot of people.
I cannot explain entierely on this thread (we have a lot of secret features) but this type of request will be surely asked by a lot of future project owner.
Let's be the first
By the way, it will be awesome if we can fetch too the name displayed (it will help us to verify that the DJ who publish his page is the actual dj and not someone who stole the identity).
