About

This is a Java wrapper for the iTunes Search API.

Usage

Adding the library to your project

Gradle

compile group: 'me.tobiadeyinka', name: 'iTunesSearch', version: '1.5.3'

Maven

<dependency>
    <groupId>me.tobiadeyinka</groupId>
    <artifactId>iTunesSearch</artifactId>
    <version>1.5.3</version>
</dependency>

Making calls to the API

Using Podcast’s search as an example, to search for “Radiolab” and leaving all other parameters set to default, it’s as simple as:

new PodcastSearch()
    .with("radiolab")
    .execute();

To compare your search term with only a particular attribute, for example the genre of podcasts, you can specify that this way:

new PodcastSearch()
    .with("radiolab")
    .inAttribute(PodcastAttribute.GENRE);
    .execute();

To run your search in only one itunes store, just pass the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code for that country, this example uses Nigeria:

new PodcastSearch()
    .with("radiolab")
    .inCountry(CountryCode.NG)
    .execute();

Searching other media types follow the same method. To search every media type in one call, use MediaSearch:

new MediaSearch()
    .with("something")
    .execute();

There are much more configurations available all of which are detailed in the wiki.

To lookup up lists or items from the store, use the lookup API’s. For example, to get the top songs in the store:

MusicLookup.topSongs();

To get the top n songs:

MusicLookup.topSongs(n);

The javadoc is also available here. All searches and lookups return a JSON object.
