Accessing the Artist Bio

Our apologies. We don't have any way to return artist bios to you because of content provider restrictions.

We'll update the docs so we don't tempt you unnecessarily :)Jon

Hi, I'm trying to get the Artist bio, but I cannot figure out the correct API to get the information. According to the documentation the responses for Artists can include ShortBio and FullBio but I have not been able to find how to get this data. Any idea on how to get the data.

<Artists>
<Artist>
<Image/>
<Category/>
<Releases/>
<TopSimilarArtists/>
<RadioStations/>
<Events/>
<Fans/>
<NewsArticles/>
<ReleaseReviews/>
<ShortBio/>
<FullBio/>
<ItemInfo/>
<Video/>
</Artist>
</Artists>

I have just been through the same frustrating exercise. I guess it was not possible to update the documentation. Judging by the low level of traffic on this forum I suspect that there is not a lot of development going on for this API.
