go get github.com/michiwend/gomusicbrainz

This example demonstrates a simple search requests to find all artists matching "bonobo" or "Parov Stelar". You can find it as a runnable go program in the samples folder.

import "github.com/michiwend/gomusicbrainz"

// create a new WS2 client
client := gomusicbrainz.NewWS2Client()

// provide some information about your application
client.SetClientInfo(
    "A GoMusicBrainz example",
    "0.0.1-beta",
    "http://github.com/michiwend/gomusicbrainz")

// Search for some artist with default settings
resp, _ := client.SearchArtist(`bonobo OR "Parov Stelar"`, -1, -1)

// Pretty print Name and Id of each returned artist.
for _, artist := range resp.Artists {
    fmt.Printf("Name: %-25s ID: %s\n", artist.Name, artist.Id)
}
