README

This package was cloned from Joe Dawson's package which may be found at https://github.com/JoeDawson/genius.

This package was made to fetch data from the Genius API, this is very much still a work in progress. If you plan on relying on this to fetch information from their API using this package, we would recommend not using this package for now.

Installation

Firstly you'll need to pull this in using Composer.

composer require chocoholics/genius

After you have successfully installed, add the Service Provider to your config/app.php`

Chocoholics\Genius\GeniusServiceProvider::class,

And the following facade, also in config/app.php

'Genius' => Chocoholics\Genius\Facades\Genius::class,

Now we'll go ahead and publish the genius.php configuration file.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Chocoholics\Genius\GeniusServiceProvider"

Open up the genius.php, you will see that you will require an access token. Create one for your API client on Genius and add it to your env file.

GENIUS_TOKEN=

What does this package do?

Currently, you can fetch a single Annotation or Song.

The following with return a JSON response for the given annotation.

$annotation = Genius::annotation(10225840)->get();

This is how you would fetch a song, again this will return a JSON response.

$song = Genius::song(378195)->get();
