📄 Description

In the BrowserMixin class from the mixins/browsing.py file there is a method called get_artist that returns artist information.

I made 2 modifications to get_artist:

Return the related artists that appear at the bottom of the page under the "Fans might also like" section. These related artists are returned as a list of dictionaries that contain the artist name, the artist YouTube Music Channel ID, and the text that shows the approximate number of subscribers
You can technically visit any YouTube channel in the YouTube music front-end. That means you can visit non-music channel IDs that will not return any YouTube music content (example: Google Developers). I created an exception called YouTubeChannelIDIsNotArtistException that is thrown when a non-music channel ID is provided to the get_artist function.

I updated the documentation for the get_artist function, added a unit test for each modification, and made sure that the pre-commit linters pass.

This can be called with:

ytmusic = YTMusic()
youtube_channel_id = "..."
return ytmusic.get_artist(youtube_channel_id)
