Retrieve artists based on LOW POPULARITY through Spotify API

[takeabow88]

Hello,

I am building a webapp which is designed to suggest less popular artists based on 3 aritists a user can provide.

What I want to do is retrieve information based on artists which have a popularity of, say 0-20, relative to artists which a user has provided (so if a user searches - Muse / Korn / Architects) I want to retrieve artists which are similar but low popularity.

After a lot of searching I cannot find a way to do this directly through the Spotify API and wondered if anybody had any ideas or previous experiences on how to collect this type of data.

Thank you in advance,

Dylan

(for reference, I have build my appication to the point of setting up a dataframe to then create a decision tree based on 200-350 items which I have collected - but all retrieved data is currently fairly high in popularity)

Hey @takeabow88 if you take a look in the Search API there is a tag 'tag:hipster' that will only pull results that are in the lowest 10% of popularity of all artists for that search term. Ma be worth looking into!
