title: Correct python syntax to search by artist in Spotify's Search API?
body: <p>What is the correct python syntax for searching by artist with Spotify's API? Maybe I'm missing something obvious (been staring at this for way too long)  </p>
  
  <p>Per documentation, header 'authorization' &amp; param 'q' and 'type' are required.<br>
  <a href="https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/search-item/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/search-item/</a>  </p>
  
  <p>What I've tried:  </p>
  
  <pre><code>artist_name = 'Linkin%20Park'
  artist_info = requests.get('https://api.spotify.com/v1/search', header = {'access_token': access_token}, q = artist_name, type = 'artist')
  
  ERROR: TypeError: requests() got an unexpected keyword argument 'q'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then I thought, maybe the parameters has to be sent as a list?:</p>
  
  <pre><code>artist_info = requests.get('https://api.spotify.com/v1/search', header = {'access_token': access_token}, query = list(q = artist_name, type = 'artist'))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ERROR: TypeError: list() takes at most 1 argument (2 given)
  </code></pre>
