musiXmatch API library for NodeJS

February 12th, 2012 by Andrea Franz

I’ve just published my first NPM package, and it’s called musixmatch. With this library you can easily use the musiXmatch API with a few lines of javascript.
Install it with NPM:

npm install -g musixmatch

And here an example:

var util  = require("util");
var mXm   = require("musixmatch");
 
mXm.Config.API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY";
 
var successCallback = function(modelOrCollection) {
  console.log("Success:");
  console.log("  " + util.inspect(modelOrCollection));
};
 
var errorCallback = function(response) {
  console.log("Error callback:");
  console.log("  " + util.inspect(response));
};
 
mXm.API.getTrack(TRACK_ID, successCallback, errorCallback);
mXm.API.getLyrics(LYRICS_ID, successCallback, errorCallback);
mXm.API.getArtist(ARTIST_ID, successCallback, errorCallback);
mXm.API.getAlbum(ALBUM_ID, successCallback, errorCallback);
mXm.API.getSubtitle(TRACK_ID, successCallback, errorCallback);
mXm.API.searchTrack({q: QUERY}, successCallback);

If you want you can set your musiXmatch API KEY as an environment variable, and you won’t need to set it in your code:

export MUSIX_MATCH_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

You can find the source code on github.
