Hey, this is my latest project. Hope you like it. A few details for the hackers:
Built on:
- Google appengine
- Pyhton
APIs used:
- Topsy api (http://corp.topsy.com/developers/api/ http://corp.topsy.com/developers/api/)
- Spotify metadata api (http://developer.spotify.com/en/metadata-api/overview/ http://developer.spotify.com/en/metadata-api/overview/)
- Last.fm api (http://www.last.fm/api http://www.last.fm/api)
- Amazon api (https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/advertising/api/detail/main.html https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/advertising/api/deta...)
First, I pull the top shared links on spotify from the Topsy api which is dead easy, then process each spotify link with the spotify metadata api to get artist/album.
Unfortunately, the metadata api from spotify doesn't give you the artwork so I head over to last.fm and amazon to see if I can get the artwork. Between last.fm and amazon I'm getting 90% of the album art which is nice.
Any Q's - hit me up on twitter: @tomcritchlow or ask a question below.

- topcat31 16y agoThis is done just for the love! :)
- mbesto 16y agoNice! I might have to mashup a similar app for my friends. I had a few friends who would follow me on @mbesto where I would push a link to a new song everyday. It became a bit troublesome to have to search for the song on youtube, crete a bit.ly link and then post to Twitter. I'm wondering if I can make the whole process a lot easier. User clicks, youtube video opens in pop-up, if they like it they purchase it via Amazon. Until Spotify makes it to the US, youtube is the only option.
