Bandcamp

This is a gem that wraps the Bandcamp API in a warm Rubyish hug. To use it you will need to request an API key from them. For details see [http://bandcamp.com/developer#key_request][].

Usage

In your Gemfile

gem install bandcamp_api

Getting started:

require 'bandcamp_api'
Bandcamp.config.api_key = "your_api_key"

Search the Bandcamp.com API by band name:

matching_bands = Bandcamp.search "pitch black"
=> [#<Bandcamp::Band:0x00000001efa168>, #<Bandcamp::Band:0x00000001e53278>, ...]

Resolving URLs

Bandcamp lets you resolve a given url to given band, track or album:

sea_oleena = Bandcamp.resolve.url "seaoleena.bandcamp.com"
=> #<Bandcamp::Band:0x00000001ef20f8>

emoxygen_by_sun_monx = Bandcamp.resolve.url "http://interchill.bandcamp.com/track/emoxygen"

Getting stuff

A specific track:

evolution_11 = Bandcamp.get.track 1735088360
=> #<Bandcamp::Track:0x0000000162c7e8>

Many specific tracks:

tracks = Bandcamp.get.tracks 1735088360, 1739611553
=> [#<Bandcamp::Track:0x00000001316ab8>, #<Bandcamp::Track:0x00000001314a10>, ...]

A band:

pitchblack = Bandcamp.get.band 950934886
=> #<Bandcamp::Band:0x000000017d43e8>

An album:

ape_to_angel = Bandcamp.get.album 2909726980
=> #<Bandcamp::Album:0x00000001e20c60>

Bands, Albums and Tracks all have a #to_json method that does what you would expect a to_json method to do.

TODO list

  • A nice interface for requesting discographies.
  • Rails 3 integration so you can use these ojects with partials and form_for.
  • Duck typing helpers along the lines of ActiveSupport's #acts_like?
