# Artists

#### fetchAllArtists(params: [IApiListQueryParams](/spinamp-sdk/reference/api-reference/types.md#iapilistqueryparams)): Promise<[IApiListQueryResponse](/spinamp-sdk/reference/api-reference/types.md#iapilistqueryresponse)<[IArtist](/spinamp-sdk/reference/api-reference/types.md#iartist)>>

If no params are provided, returns list of all artists existing in the database. Params can be used for pagination, filtering and sorting

Allowed properties for `filter` and `orderBy` params can be found under `allTracks` query on spinamp pipeline API documentation: <https://spindex-api.spinamp.xyz/v1/graphiql>.

#### fetchArtistById(artistId: string): Promise<[IArtist](/spinamp-sdk/reference/api-reference/types.md#iartist) | null>

Returns full artist object based on artist id or `null` if such id doesn't exist.

#### fetchArtistBySlug(slug: string): Promise<[IArtist](/spinamp-sdk/reference/api-reference/types.md#iartist) | null>

Returns full artist object based on track slug or `null` if such slug doesn't exist.

#### fetchArtistBySlugOrId(slugOrId: string): Promise<[IArtist](/spinamp-sdk/reference/api-reference/types.md#iartist) | null>

It first tries to find an artist using provided param as slug. If not found, then it tries to find by id.

#### fetchArtistByIdOrSlug(idOrSlug: string): Promise<[IArtist](/spinamp-sdk/reference/api-reference/types.md#iartist) | null>

The same as above, but it first tries to find artist by id.

#### fetchArtistTracks(artistId): Promise<[ITrack](/spinamp-sdk/reference/api-reference/types.md#itrack)\[]>

Returns list of full tracks objects created by provided artist.

#### fetchArtistWithTracks(idOrSlug: string): Promise<{artist: [IArtist](/spinamp-sdk/reference/api-reference/types.md#iartist) | null, tracks: [ITrack](/spinamp-sdk/reference/api-reference/types.md#itrack)\[]}>

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://spinamp.gitbook.io/spinamp-sdk/reference/api-reference/artists.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
