Available Methods

Songs can be retrieved via search or by supplying a direct URL to a single song. Songs are read-only and only support GET requests.

Searching songs

Songs can be searched using the URI

http://api.guitarparty.com/v2/songs/

When making the request, a single parameter named query must be supplied for the search to have any effect. If this parameter is not present the server will return a 400 Bad Request status.

Example:

curl -H 'Guitarparty-Api-Key: {API_KEY}' \
    http://api.guitarparty.com/v2/songs/?query=Jolene
{
    "objects": [
        {
            "body": "...", 
            "chords": [...], 
            "tags": [], 
            "title": "Jolene", 
            "uri": "/v2/songs/5/",
            "authors": [{
                "name": "Dolly Parton",
                "types": ["cover", "melody", "lyrics"],
                "uri": "/v2/authors/1/"
            }]
        },
        {
            "body": "...", 
            "chords": [...], 
            "tags": [], 
            "title": "Jolene", 
            "uri": "/v2/songs/3207/"
            "authors": [...]
        }
    ],
    "objects_count": 2

Single song

Various parts of the API return songs or references to songs. These references generally include a uri attribute which allows you to retrieve more information about the song. To retrieve a single song, simply use this uri parameter as your URL via a GET request.

Note: The uri parameter is always relative to the API host (i.e. http://api.guitarparty.com)

Example:

curl -H 'Guitarparty-Api-Key: {API_KEY}' http://api.guitarparty.com/v2/songs/5/
{
    "body": "...", 
    "chords": [...],
    "tags": [], 
    "title": "Jolene", 
    "uri": "/v2/songs/5/",
    "authors": [{
            "name": "Dolly Parton",
            "types": ["cover", "melody", "lyrics"],
            "uri": "/v2/authors/1/"
    }]
