Support for the new Spotify Links about tekore HOT 9 CLOSED

I guess.. Thanks again though!

Alright I had a go at it and it looks promising. There's some hoops to go through since this is a new type of URL, but I think we can add it directly to the client which is way more usable. Unfortunately my weekend is busy, but I'll let post any updates on this issue 👍

I will test it later today, will let you know!

Oh! Thanks for letting me know! Contributions are welcome but if not, I'll try to get it done within a few days 👍

Okay, so unfortunately as you said, the IDs are random so we can't decide what it contains. I'll provide a function like is_spotify_url and possibly a HTTP call to try to resolve the redirect. But these might need to wait since Spotify doesn't have any docs about this ☹️

Oo, alrighty. Thanks for taking your time into this!!

I just found a workaround for this which works, uses requests to get the final open.spotify.com/ url

Yep that seems like only thing we can do for now 😅 I'll see what a reasonable implementation could look like

Hi! I've got a PR up now, which I'd really appreciate comments on. Does it seem usable for what you had in mind for whatever app you intended to write?
