chocoholics/genius

A simple package to fetch data from the Genius API, made for Laravel.

Genius

This package was cloned from Joe Dawson's package which may be found at https://github.com/JoeDawson/genius., _(*1)

This package was made to fetch data from the Genius API, this is very much still a work in progress. If you plan on relying on this to fetch information from their API using this package, we would recommend not using this package for now., _(*2)

Installation

Firstly you'll need to pull this in using Composer., _(*3)

composer require chocoholics/genius

After you have successfully installed, add the Service Provider to your config/app.php`, _(*4)

Chocoholics\Genius\GeniusServiceProvider::class,

And the following facade, also in config/app.php, _(*5)

'Genius' => Chocoholics\Genius\Facades\Genius::class,

Now we'll go ahead and publish the genius.php configuration file., _(*6)

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Chocoholics\Genius\GeniusServiceProvider"

Open up the genius.php, you will see that you will require an access token. Create one for your API client on Genius and add it to your env file., _(*7)

GENIUS_TOKEN=

What does this package do?

Currently, you can fetch a single Annotation or Song., _(*8)

The following with return a JSON response for the given annotation., _(*9)

$annotation = Genius::annotation(10225840)->get();

This is how you would fetch a song, again this will return a JSON response., _(*10)

$song = Genius::song(378195)->get();
