vagalume-logo

A simple ruby interface to the Vagalume API. Also a command line utility to search song lyrics.

Install

If you are using bundler, add it to your Gemfile:

gem 'vagalume'

or you can just install it with

gem install vagalume

Usage

The usage is pretty simple:

require "vagalume"

result = Vagalume.find("Metallica", "The Unforgiven")

result.status # => Can be "exact", "aprox", "song_notfound" or "notfound"

song = result.song
song.id
song.name
song.language
song.url
song.lyric

artist = result.artist
artist.id
artist.name
artist.url

result.translations.with_language(Vagalume::Language::PORTUGUESE) # return a Song object

You can also use it from the command line:

vagalume Metallica - The Unforgiven

or passing the [-t] flag, to show the portuguese translation:

vagalume -t Metallica - The Unforgiven

It's also pretty good at finding approximations, so you can try something like that:

vagalume metalica - unforgiven

And everything should work fine.

Requirements

Ruby >= 1.8.7
