echonestjs

Simple node.js client for querying the echonest api.

Installation

  npm install echonestjs --save

Usage

The echonestjs module exposes a singleton object, which you can initialize once with the api key, which is handy to use with application frameworks such as express.

  var Echonest = require('echonestjs');

  Echonest.init('YOUR ECHONEST API KEY');

  Echonest.get('echonest/endpoint', {'the necessary parameters'}, callback);

e.g.

  var Echonest = require('echonestjs');

  Echonest.init('123456789');

  Echonest.get('song/search', { artist: "led zeppelin" }, function (err, res) {
      if (err) {
        console.log(err);
      } else {
        console.log(res);
      }
  });

Tests

To run the tests simply execute:

    npm test

The tests have a dependency of a configuration file config/config.js of the following structure:

/**
 * Module configuration.
 *
 * Contains the echonest api key for the tests.
 *
 * config/config.js
 */
module.exports = {
    api_key: 'PLACE YOUR ECHONEST API KEY HERE'
};
