Required parameters
client_id
Parameter List
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| client_id | string | A Client Id provided by devportal.jamendo.com. |
| format | enum: {xml, json, jsonpretty} | The results formatting type |
| callback | string | Use this parameter to have the response json wrapped in a callback function (jsonp technique). Such feature is enable only for json format and GET requests; if used in combination with other formats or a not-get request, the callback parameter is simply ignored and a warning is raised |
| offset | integer | The position to start returning results from |
| limit | string | The max number of results to return. Default is 10 and Max is 200. Using the keyword 'all' still a max of 200 rows will be returned |
| order | []enum: {name, id, joindate, popularity_total, popularity_month, popularity_week} | Sort results by the queried field(s). You can specify whether to follow an ascending or descending order adding the suffix _asc or _desc to every field (order=field_asc). Asc is the default one. All rating orders (such as "popularity_total") follow a more specific norm: they use "desc" as default and will forcedly use "desc" even if you requested an "asc". |
| fullcount | boolean | Setting this parameter to true, the document header will be enriched with the 'results_fullcount' value, that is, the absolute number of rows the query would return if there was no limit and offset parameter. This value is of course very useful for pagination, but please: use it only if you really need it, as it affects performances! For this performance reasons such parameter is not available in most heavy methods. |
| id | []integer | One or more artist id |
| name | string | An artist name |
| namesearch | string | Search an artist by name (artist_name matching *seachquery*) |
| hasimage | enum: {true, 1} | Return only artists with an image |
| datebetween | string | Filter on the artist joining date (the date artists joined Jamendo). This parameter need a value to be used for a between closed interval. The "from" and "to" parts are both mandatory, must be separated by an underscore ("_"), and must be both in the yyyy-mm-dd format |
