Dealing with identical artists' names

[artjoms-formulevics]

Is there a workaround for having multiple artists with the same name? Like for example there are many artists named 'Future':
https://rateyourmusic.com/search?bx=c518a8649560e5985062f842520e8bb8&searchtype=a&searchterm=future

And network.get_discography_infos(name="Future") would get me the first one on the list.

But is there any way to specify which one I need? Or to extract more data on each of them and find it from other names, genre or something else?

Hello! If the search is ambiguous, you can use the url argument in the function : network.get_discography_infos(url="https://rateyourmusic.com/artist/future-1")

Let me know if it fits what you're trying to do.

Hi there! Thanks a lot for the prompt reply! That indeed works for me to some extent. So I guess there is no way to, for instance, get all the artists associated with name 'Future' and then save them all?

If not, then not, just a question. Your library is already awesome, many thanks for it!
