The genre seeds, like summer, you can get through the Get Available Genre Seeds endpoint, you can use with the Get Recommendations endpoint.

A full list of genres you can use with the Search for Items endpoint, you can find here.

Okay, I think I misunderstood your question then.

Where did you get those genres from?

(I if a genre isn't on one of the two lists I've linked earlier, I don't think you can search with it.)

As I said earlier, you need to use those with https://api.spotify.com/v1/recommendations .

Here is its documentation, and here is a console you can try it out with.
