Description

WordPress plugin that adds a shortcode on posts or pages to read the artist discography using the Beatport API.
This plugin gets the feed on request and on the fly, so there is no need to save in database or do any updates.
As soon as a release is out on beatport it will be on the list.

There are three different types of feed:
– Artist Feed
– You can get list of tracks or releases
– If getting list of tracks, you have the option to enable/disable the sound player.
– Artist Bio
– Label Feed
– You can get list of tracks or releases
– If getting list of tracks, you have the option to enable/disable the sound player.
– Release Details Feed
– Gets a detailed view of a release by ID. You can find the release id on beatport.com in the URL.
For example: If you go to beatport and click on a release, the url on your browser will be something like this http://www.beatport.com/release/sonntag/1092381. Where the ID is the numbers at the end of it.

It’s very easy to use:

  • Install the plugin
  • Activate
  • Create a new post or page
  • Click the icon with the green Beatport logo on the toolbar
  • Type in your artist name, or the artist name you want to show the discography on your wordpress site.

Done.

This version will get a JSON object with the following information

  • Artist Biography
  • Release Detail
  • Release Art Cover
  • Release Artists (If it’s a compilation, this will get an array with all artists included in the compilation)
  • Catalogue Number
  • Label
  • Release Date
  • Buy link which will direct the user to the release page on beatport.com

This will be displayed on on or two columns depending on the page width.
