Java data bindings for the Cover Art Archive.
- Provides access to cover art through the
/release/{mbid}/or/release-group/{mbid}/end points. - The Javadoc can be generated by running
mvn javadoc:javadoc.
The recommended way of using coverartarchive-api is through Maven. Add the coverartarchive-api dependency to your project's POM:
<dependency>
<groupId>fm.last</groupId>
<artifactId>coverartarchive-api</artifactId>
<version>2.1.1</version>
</dependency>
(Alternatively, a JAR file can be obtained from Maven Central: fm.last:coverartarchive-api:2.1.1)
Get all cover art for Portishead's 'Dummy' release:
CoverArtArchiveClient client = new DefaultCoverArtArchiveClient();
UUID mbid = UUID.fromString("76df3287-6cda-33eb-8e9a-044b5e15ffdd");
CoverArt coverArt = null;
try {
coverArt = client.getByMbid(mbid);
if (coverArt != null) {
for (CoverArtImage coverArtImage : coverArt.getImages()) {
File output = new File(mbid.toString() + "_" + coverArtImage.getId() + ".jpg");
FileUtils.copyInputStreamToFile(coverArtImage.getImage(), output);
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
// ...
}
To get all cover art for Portishead's 'Dummy' using the release-group endpoint, replace:
coverArt = client.getByMbid(mbid);
with:
coverArt = client.getReleaseGroupByMbid(mbid);
To query using HTTPs instead of plain HTTP, create the client as follows.
final boolean useHttps = true;
CoverArtArchiveClient client = new DefaultCoverArtArchiveClient(useHttps);
Note that URLs for images returned by the service may still contain insecure addresses.
To detect these cases you can query the URLs for each returned image by calling CoverArtImage.getImageUrl().
- Run
mvn clean verify
