Re: return artist's Songkick page

[Matteo Matita Colucci]

I've asked the exact same thing here (https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/songkick-api/AIWw-q5OfWg), but it seems the only solution is to ask the songkick artist's ID with an extra GET request...

Hello,

we are using  the API with Musicbrainz IDs in Javascript, we can't link back to Songkick artist page.

maybe return a link with the calendar.json call?

it would be nice to still retain context when the user clicks your attribution link in our sites.

(we could translate it with RosettaStone but it's a superfluous GET just to compose an attribution link)

thanks in advance

cheers, rui

Hi,

The event resource returns the artist URL in its performance list.
So if you follow this JSON path you will get the artist URL for the
first performance of the first event:
json['resultsPage']['results']['event'][0]['performances'][0]['artist']['uri']
That URL will already have your partner ID, so we can keep track of
how much traffic you send to Songkick.com

Hope that helps!
