Myplaylist API

Overview

The Myplaylist API can be used to import complete playlists for artists and single songs with up to 30 images per single.

Constructing a Call

The Myplaylist API is constructed by calling the URI as given in examples. It is simply required that variables are included as follows: "type" the type of player, "artist" the artist name, "title" the title of the song.

For type of player there are the following options:

single-l = single song large - music slideshow at 640px width * 480px height
single-m = single song medium - music slideshow at 480px width * 360px height
single-s = single song small - music slideshow at 320px width * 240px height
single-la = single song large autoplay - music slideshow at 640px width * 480px height
single-ma = single song medium autoplay - music slideshow at 480px width * 360px height
single-sa = single song small autoplay - music slideshow at 320px width * 240px height


playlist-l = playlist large - music slideshow at 640px width * 480px height
playlist-m = playlist medium - music slideshow at 480px width * 360px height
playlist-s = playlist small - music slideshow at 320px width * 240px height
playlist-la = playlist large autoplay - music slideshow at 640px width * 480px height
playlist-ma = playlist medium autoplay - music slideshow at 480px width * 360px height
playlist-sa = playlist small autoplay - music slideshow at 320px width * 240px height


music-p = music playlist - music player only at 275px width * 60px height
music-pa = music playlist autoplay - music player only at 275px width * 60px height
music-s = music single song - music player only at 275px width * 60px height
music-sa = music single song autoplay - music player only at 275px width * 60px height

You can see examples of these players here

For a single song use:

http://www.myplaylist.biz/api/type/artist/title/

As follows:

http://www.myplaylist.biz/api/single-ma/rick%20astley/never%20gonna%20give%20you%20up/

This will produce the following embed code:

<object classid='clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000' codebase='http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,18,0' width='480' height='360' id='fullscreen' align='middle'><param name='allowFullScreen' value='true' /><param name='movie' value='http://www.myplaylist.biz/lyrics/singles.swf?autoplay=true&playlist_url=single.php?id=142216&picture_url=images.php?id=142216' /><param name='bgcolor' value='#2E302B' /><embed src='http://www.myplaylist.biz/lyrics/singles.swf?autoplay=true&playlist_url=single.php?id=142216&picture_url=images.php?id=142216' allowFullScreen='true' bgcolor='#2E302B' width='480' height='360' name='fullscreen' align='middle' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' pluginspage='http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer' /></object>

To avoid this SWF from being processed by the browser (thus slowing down the results) the opening bracket '<' has been replaced with its html entity equivalent '&lt;' therefor before use you will need to change the instances of the openning bracket, you can do this in PHP using the following code:

$var = str_replace("&lt;", "<", $var);
