libepimetheus

About

Libepimetheus is an Android library to connect to Pandora Music's REST API, documented here. It's the same API the web app uses. Libepimetheus doesn't enforce ads or skip limits.
The library can optionally use a free smart DNS service, Portaller, to access Pandora from outside the US.
I'm building a Pandora client for Android with this, check it out.

Planned features (to be implemented later)

• Browse functions
• Functions to get song details (lyrics, etc.)

Download

The library is available through JitPack. Add the JitPack repository to your app module's build.gradle file:

repositories {
	...
	maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}

Then, add the library in the dependencies closure.

dependencies {
    ...
    implementation 'com.github.EpimetheusAndroid:libepimetheus:1.0'
}

Alternatively, you can manually use the library aar and sources jar from the releases page. Make sure to add the following dependencies if you do:

dependencies {
    ...
    // Not necessary when using JitPack
    implementation 'androidx.media:media:1.0.0'
    implementation 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.11.0'
}

Documentation

KDoc, generated in GFM Markdown, is available in the docs directory in this repository.

Get started

To authenticate with Pandora, create a User object. The last boolean enables Portaller, a free smart DNS service, to access Pandora outside the US. User objects are Parcelable.

val user = User("username", "password", usePortaller = true)

Get a list of the user's stations with the Stations.getStations function. This will return a list of Station objects. Station objects are Parcelable.

val stations: List<Station> = Stations.getStation(user)

Get a station playlist with the Station.getPlaylist function. This will return a list of (usually) four Song objects.

val playlist: List<Song> = stations[index].getPlaylist(user)

To get more songs, call getPlaylist again.

playlist += stations[index].getPlaylist(user)

Song objects have many properties, like:

// Song name, album, artist
song.name; song.album; song.artist

// Audio URI
song.audioUri

// Art URL (returns the URL for the nearest larger existing size)
song.getArtUrl(preferredSize)

// Rating
song.rating

Add and remove feedback with the feedback functions:

song.addTired(user)
song.addFeedback(thumbsUp = true, user)
song.deleteFeedback(user)

Custom API requests

You can use this function to make a custom API request.
