requirements

• node.js
• npm
• deezer api IDs (app id, secret key) (how to)

setup

Install with npm :

npm install api-deezer --save

Install manually :

# in your project folder
cd node_modules
git clone https://github.com/antoineraulin/deezer-api.git api-deezer

generate deezer api IDs :

• visit https://developers.deezer.com/myapps

• click on the "Create a new Application" button

• give a name to your app

• If you run your program on a head-less device:

  • the domain and the redirect URL after authentication must be accessible from a web browser (from your computer for example), it is recommended to put the local ip of your device if you are on the same network or its external ip or a domain name pointing to the device. So, for the redirect URL after authentication put http://*.*.*.*:8765/auth (don't forget to replace *.*.*.* with the local ip, external ip or domain name).

• Otherwise:

  • for the domain put 127.0.0.1 and for the redirect URL after authentication http://127.0.0.1:8765/auth

• For Link to your Terms of Use, a correct url will do the trick

• put a short description (10 characters min)

create the config file :

• create a config.json file in the project folder
• fill it as follows :

{
    "app_id": "your app id",
    "secret_key": "the secret key",
    "url": "http://*.*.*.*:8765/auth"
}

replace *.*.*.* with what you need, see the section on creating deezer IDs

example

const deezer = require("api-deezer");

async function start(){
    await deezer.login().catch((e)=>console.error(e));
    /*
    login process:
    deezer.login() will ask you to visit a url from a browser so that you can connect to deezer with your customer IDs
    */
    console.log(await deezer.get("user"))  //returns user information
}
start();
