The recommended way is through NPM

$ npm install algolia-soundcloud-connector

Otherwise, you can check it in your repository and then expose it:

$ git clone git://github.com/guillaumemorin/algolia-soundcloud-connector.git node_modules/algolia-soundcloud-connector/

And install dependency modules written on package.json.

Then you can require it:

require('algolia-soundcloud-connector')

Configuration

You first need to set your Algolia and Soundcloud credentials in conf.js You can find them on your Algolia account and on your Soundcloud developer account.

soundcloud: {
	client_id: 'CLIENT_ID',
	secret: 'SECRET',
	callback_url: 'CALLBACK_URL'
},
algolia: {
	client_id: 'CLIENT_ID',
	secret: 'SECRET',
	init_index: 'soundcloud',
	attributes_to_index: ['username', 'city'],
	custom_ranking: ['desc(followers)']
}

attributes_to_index and custom_ranking options are described on Algolia's doc Ranking & Relevance section

After configuration completed, you need to get an access token from soundcloud connect flow. You can get one with algolia-soundcloud-connector auth method if you already have the "code" from connect flow callback. Please have a look to soundcloud developer guide and README.md of soundclouder test setup script.

Once you get your Access Token, you can set it with the setAccessToken method below and pass as a callback the sendData method (with the soundcloud api method you want to get data from) to send soundcloud data to Algolia' server.

var connector = require('algolia-soundcloud-connector');
connector.setAccessToken('ACCESS_TOKEN', connector.sendData, '/me/followers');

All soundcloud api methods are listed on soundcloud api console
