Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/130

Is there a way to query the spotify API in order to get information about a track/artist/album/playlist based on its name.

E.g. Queery for "track=I need a hero&artistName=..." and get a URI/ID and some information about the track.

I couldn't find anything like this in the documentation. Am I overlooking something

Take a look at the search function perhaps: github.com/plamere/spotipy@1304ac33c0/spotipy/client.py (L313)

Calls this endpoint: https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/search-item/
