Using Spotify, Bands in Town, and OMDB, this LIRI app does searches based on a user's input by sending requests to the respective API. It uses the following Node packages to make this possible:

      • Name of the venue

      • Venue location

      • Date of the Event (use moment to format this as "MM/DD/YYYY")

      • By default, if no artist is provided then the program will return info about Bon Jovi.

    • Sends a request to the Spotify API for a song input and returns the following information about the song in the terminal:

      • Artist(s)

      • The song's name

      • The album that the song is from

      • By default, if no song is provided then the program will return info about "The Sign" by Ace of Base.

  * IMDB Rating of the movie.
  * Rotten Tomatoes Rating of the movie.
  * Country where the movie was produced.

    • By default, if no movie is provided by the user, the program will output data for the movie 'Mr. Nobody.'

  • do-what-it-says
