Musikt utilizes Kotlin coroutines to retrieve data from the API asynchronously without using callbacks/futures/rx. All the functions requesting external resources are suspending.

Before your application starts making requests to the API, set up your Team ID and private key:

Credentials.teamID = "team"
Credentials.privateKey = "key"
