SoundDrop

A gem that exposes various track information about a Soundcloud song by providing a URL. This gem is very limited in comparison to the original soundcloud API gem and provides no real advantage other than getting a media download URL.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sounddrop'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install sounddrop

Being that we're only considering crude track information, there really is no need to do any sort of user authentication. All you really need is a CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET.

How to get said keys? Easy! Head over to the [Soundcloud developers site] (developers.soundcloud.com) and register your application!

Everything is accessed via a Drop object which is created using a Client object.

client = SoundDrop::Client.new(
  client_id: CLIENT_ID,
  client_secret: CLIENT_SECRET
  ) #=> SoundDrop::Client

You can also specify :username and :password if you'd like.

Now for getting track information:

track_url = 'https://soundcloud.com/armadacaptivating/id-everytime-you-smile'
drop = client.get_drop(track_url) #=> SoundDrop::Drop

Let's get some useful data:

id = drop.id #=> Gets the track id
title = drop.title #=> Gets the track title
genre = drop.genre #=> Gets the track genre
media_url = drop.media_url #=> Gets the track download URL
