SoundCloud PHP API Wrapper
Introduction
A wrapper for the SoundCloud API written in PHP with support for authentication using OAuth 2.0., (*1)
The wrapper got a real overhaul with version 2.0. The current version was written with PEAR in mind and can easily by distributed as a PEAR package., (*2)
Requirements
- PHP >= 5.0.0 (with cURL support)
Getting started
Check out the getting started wiki entry for further reference on how to get started. Also make sure to check out the demo application for some example code., (*3)
Composer
A version of the library that is PSR-4 compliant and installable via Composer is available on the psr-4 branch. To include it in your projects, include the following in your composer.json file:, (*4)
{
"repositories": [
{
"type": "git",
"url": "https://github.com/mptre/php-soundcloud"
}
],
"require": {
"glenscott/soundcloud": "dev-psr-4"
}
}
The Composer-version of the libray requires PHP >= 5.3 because of the use of namespaces., (*5)
The namespaced class names differ from the examples below. For example, to create a new client object with app credentials, instead of:, (*6)
$client = new Services_Soundcloud(
'CLIENT_ID', 'CLIENT_SECRET', 'REDIRECT_URL');
Instead, use:, (*7)
$client = new SoundCloud\Client(
'CLIENT_ID',
'CLIENT_SECRET',
'REDIRECT_URL'
);
Examples
The wrapper includes convenient methods used to perform HTTP requests on behalf of the authenticated user. Below you'll find a few quick examples., (*8)
Of course, you need to handle the authentication first before being able to request and modify protected resources as demonstrated below. Therefore, I refer to the demo application which has some example code on how to handle authentication., (*9)
GET
``` php
<?php
try {
$response = json_decode($soundcloud->get('me'), true);
} catch (Services_Soundcloud_Invalid_Http_Response_Code_Exception $e) {
exit($e->getMessage());
}, (*10)
### POST
``` php
<?php
$comment = <<<EOH
<comment>
<body>Yeah!</body>
</comment>
EOH;
try {
$response = json_decode(
$soundcloud->post(
'tracks/1/comments',
$comment,
array(CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array('Content-Type: application/xml'))
),
true
);
} catch (Services_Soundcloud_Invalid_Http_Response_Code_Exception $e) {
exit($e->getMessage());
}
PUT
``` php
<?php
$track = <<
true
EOH;, (*11)
try {
$response = json_decode(
$soundcloud->put(
'tracks/1',
$track,
array(CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array('Content-Type: application/xml'))
),
true
);
} catch (Services_Soundcloud_Invalid_Http_Response_Code_Exception $e) {
exit($e->getMessage());
}, (*12)
### DELETE
``` php
<?php
try {
$response = json_decode($soundcloud->delete('tracks/1'), true);
} catch (Services_Soundcloud_Invalid_Http_Response_Code_Exception $e) {
exit($e->getMessage());
}
Upload track
``` php
<?php
$track = array(
'track[title]' => 'My awesome track',
'track[tags]' => 'dubstep rofl',
'track[asset_data]' => '@/absolute/path/to/track.mp3'
);, (*13)
try {
$response = $soundcloud->post('tracks', $track);
} catch (Services_Soundcloud_Invalid_Http_Response_Code_Exception $e) {
exit($e->getMessage());
}, (*14)
### Download track
``` php
<?php
try {
$track = $soundcloud->download(1337);
} catch (Services_Soundcloud_Invalid_Http_Response_Code_Exception $e) {
exit($e->getMessage());
}
// do something clever with $track. Save to file perhaps?
Update playlist
Many found it difficult to update a existing playlist. Therefor a custom method is available to simplify this matter., (*15)
``` php
<?php
$playlistId = 2000;
$trackIds = array(2001);
$optionalFields = array('title' => 'My awesome playlist');, (*16)
try {
$playlist = $soundcloud->updatePlaylist($playlistId, $trackIds, $optionalFields);
} catch (Services_Soundcloud_Invalid_Http_Response_Code_Exception $e) {
exit($e->getMessage());
}
```, (*17)
