This script fetches all songs of all albums/EP's/Singles of the artists you choose and puts them in chronological order into a playlist.
Setup
The script requires a few environment variables to be set. For this, populate the .env file with the following variables:
SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID=[your spotify client ID]
SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET=[your spotify client secret]
SPOTIFY_REDIRECT_URI=[your spotifiy redirect URI]
SPOTIFY_USER_ID=[your spotify user id]
For more info on how to get the client id, cliene secret and redirect uri visit the Spotify API Docs for creating an app

Looking up Artist...
The Artist doesn't exist on Spotify. Did you mean "ATEEZ" [ENTER for Yes, No for retry]:
In case it found a different artist, You can choose to retry the search.
Alternatively the scripts also allows inputs for the artist link or ID.
The spotify search by name feature isn't always that accurate so pasting the direct artist link or ID into the input is sometimes the only option.
Because of a bug in the Spotify API, if an artist has more than 50 albums/EP's/Singles, the script will only fetch the first 50.
I am unable to fix this since it's a bug on Spotify's end and has existed for quite a while :/
