Title: Album Covers
Post by: Jonathan on July 31, 2009, 04:02:42 am
IS there a API or remote way to server the album covers and song title intomation on another page or application?

I am working on a iPhone app and want to feed it the same info found in the Code Snippets. I seem to need some type of variable.

None that we officially support, but it's possible if you're a moderately-experienced developer.  Just check the JavaScript URL starting with "js.php" for the code snippet you're interested in, and launch that URL in your browser.  You'll see that it's basically just a JSON-encoded string, albeit with some extra loader code thrown in.  You could fetch that URL from your own application, extract that JSON string, parse it, and do whatever you want with its data.

Start pages or code snippets for mobile devices is an interesting idea though... might be a good one for the feature requests forum. :)
