bandcamp

Bandcamp Library for Node.js

A simple library to easily interact with the Bandcamp API.

Bandcamp is an awesome platform for musicians, both physically large and small. You could be, like, tiny... or HUGE. It doesn't matter how big you are as long as you can use a computer. Just visit Bandcamp to setup your account and start selling music to your fans. It also does not discriminate against large or small fans, you just need a computer to listen to and buy music from Bandcamp. If you're a nerd, you can get uncompressed formats. The musician gets a large cut.

Installation

npm install bandcamp

Usage

var key = 'yourbandcampAPIkey', // contact <[e-mail]> to request one
    bandcamp = require('bandcamp')(key),
    i = require('util').inspect;
    
bandcamp.band.search('the internet', function(err, result, status) {
    console.log(i(JSON.parse(result)));
});

See Bandcamp API Documentation for details on all the calls and view test/test.js for examples for every method.

Options

Bandcamp split up different parts of their API into modules:

• Band
• Album
• Track
• URL

Each module is versioned. You may pass a version object after your key to set custom versions of each module. In the future, I will update this library to always use the latest version of each module, so if you want to explicitly set the versions for your app and upgrade without fear, you can.

var versions = {
    band: 3,
    album: 2,
    track: 1,
    url: 1
};

var key = 'yourbandcampAPIkey', // contact <[e-mail]> to request one
    bandcamp = require('bandcamp')(key, versions);

You may also include specific modules if you don't want to include all of them. The optional version parameter is an integer for individual modules.

var band = require('bandcamp').band('apikeygoeshere', optionalVersionInteger),
    track = require('bandcamp').track('apikeygoeshere', 2);

License

tl;dr: Do whatever you want.
