Genius API Wrapper

Client interface for accessing Genius API.

Installation

Install via npm

npm install genius-wrapi --save

Usage

Create a client object with the access_token to connect to Genius API endpoints.

var geniusWrapi = require('genius-wrapi');

var client = new geniusWrapi(GENIUS_ACCESS_TOKEN);

// Now you are ready to make API calls to Genius.

Provide parameters and a callback.

API calls follow this syntax:

client.apimethod(param1, ..., queryString, post_payload, callback);

• param - (if required) url parameters - eg: For annotations.get the value for :id.
• queryString - (as required) API method parameters as key-value pairs.
• post_payload - (as required) payload for POST requests - eg annotations.create

client.annotations.get('6737668', function(err, data) {
  if (!err) {
    console.log(data);
  }
