Access music tracks, albums, playlists, and artist data via Deezer's RESTful API

The Deezer API provides RESTful access to a vast music catalog including tracks, albums, artists, playlists, charts, and user profiles. Key endpoints include /search (music queries), /artist/{id} (artist details), /album/{id} (album tracks), and /user/{id}/playlists (user playlists). Responses are in JSON format.
