Tinysong

Connect to Tinysong API
Tinysong has a simple RESTful API that makes available search and Tinysong URL generation.
There are three ways to use the API. Each way returns a Tinysong URL, however some return more information.

The three different API "methods" are referred to by /a/, /b/, and /s/. Each of these API methods are called by choosing a method and appending a search term.

Example

http://tinysong.com/method/Search+Terms?format=json
/a/
This method returns a single Tinysong link. Behind-the-scenes, Tinysong performs a search using your supplied song and artist name terms, then returns the 1st result found, as a Tinysong link.

Example

http://tinysong.com/a/Girl+Talk+
Ask+About+Me?format=json

Returns

http:\/\/tinysong.com\/6OAB
If a song is not found in our system, an empty set, [] will be returned.
/b/
This method performs the same search as the /a/ method, but also returns additional meta-information about the Tinysong link generated.

Example

http://tinysong.com/b/Girl+Talk+
Ask+About+Me?format=json

Returns

{
  "Url": "http:\/\/tinysong.com\/6OAB",
  "SongID": 13963,
  "SongName": "Ask About Me",
  "ArtistID": 77,
  "ArtistName": "Girl Talk",
  "AlbumID": 117512,
  "AlbumName": "Girl Talk"
}
If you're just doing a simple Tinysong integration you can ignore songID, artistID, and albumID.
/s/
This third method performs a search just as the other two methods do, but multiple results are returned in the same format as outlined above for the /b/ method. If you want to limit the number of results returned, say you only want three results returned, for example, you can append a 'limit' parameter to the url. The minimum value for the limit parameter is one, while the maximum is 32. The default limit is five.

Example

http://tinysong.com/s/Beethoven?format=json&limit=3

Returns
