Rdio

Ruby wrapper for the Rdio API. Inspired by Linkedin gem & Twitter gem.

Installation

gem install rdio_api

Usage

Register for developer keys at http://developer.rdio.com/.

All the methods are exactly as in the API docs, camel cased and all the endpoints are also exactly the same.

OAuth flow is not part of this gem. Recommend using OmniAuth. Also check Rdio OAuth documentation.

Usage Examples

require "rubygems"
require "rdio_api"

# Initialize a new Rdio client
client = RdioApi.new(:consumer_key => CONSUMER_KEY, :consumer_secret => CONSUMER_SECRET)

# Get songs in heavy rotation
client.getHeavyRotation(:type => "albums")

# Get top playlists
client.getTopCharts(:type => "Playlist")

# Search for a query and and pass in the type
client.search(:query => "michael giacchino", :types => "album")

# Get activity stream of a user
client.getActivityStream(:user => "s12345", :scope => "user")

# Find a user by email address
client.findUser(:email => "[email protected]")

# Methods that act on behalf of a user require an access token, OmniAuth is best for this

# Access token can be set at initialization
client = RdioApi.new(:consumer_key => CONSUMER_KEY,
                     :consumer_secret => CONSUMER_SECRET,
                     :access_token => ACCESS_TOKEN)

# Access token can also be set at the clien't access_token instance variable
client.access_token = ACCESS_TOKEN

# Get info about the current user
client.currentUser

# Add a friend
client.addFriend(:user => "s12345")

# Create a Playlist
client.createPlaylist(:name => "RubyGem",
                      :description => "Testing",
                      :tracks => "t1945474, t3483614")

  • Explore moving methods from camel case to snake case and update tests accordingly
  • OAuth flow
  • More tests for methods and for each endpoints
  • Test and Support multiple Rubies
