> :cake: A powerful music API framework for Node.js

## Introduction

Meting is a powerful music API framework designed to accelerate music-related development. This is the **Node.js** version of the original PHP Meting project, providing unified APIs for multiple music platforms.

### Features

- **🎵 Multi-Platform Support** - Supports NetEase Cloud Music, Tencent Music, KuGou, Baidu Music, and Kuwo
- **🚀 Lightweight & Fast** - Zero external dependencies, built with Node.js native modules only
- **📱 Modern Async/Await** - Promise-based APIs with full async/await support
- **🔄 Unified Interface** - Standardized data format across all music platforms
- **🔐 Built-in Encryption** - Platform-specific encryption and signing built-in
- **⚡ Chain-able API** - Fluent interface design for elegant code

## Requirements

- Node.js >= 12.0.0
- No external dependencies required

## Installation

Install via npm:

```bash
npm install @meting/core
```

Or via yarn:

```bash
yarn add @meting/core
```

## Quick Start

### Basic Usage

```javascript
import Meting from '@meting/core';

// Initialize with a music platform
const meting = new Meting('netease'); // 'netease', 'tencent', 'kugou', 'baidu', 'kuwo'

// Enable data formatting for consistent output
meting.format(true);

// Search for songs
try {
  const searchResult = await meting.search('Hello Adele', { page: 1, limit: 10 });
  const songs = JSON.parse(searchResult);
  console.log(songs);
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Search failed:', error);
}
```

### Comprehensive Example

```javascript
import Meting from '@meting/core';

async function musicExample() {
  const meting = new Meting('netease');
  meting.format(true);
  
  try {
    // 1. Search for songs
    const searchResult = await meting.search('Hello Adele');
    const songs = JSON.parse(searchResult);
    
    if (songs.length > 0) {
      const song = songs[0];
      console.log(`Found: ${song.name} by ${song.artist.join(', ')}`);
      
      // 2. Get song details
      const details = await meting.song(song.id);
      console.log('Song details:', JSON.parse(details));
      
      // 3. Get streaming URL
      const urlInfo = await meting.url(song.url_id, 320); // 320kbps
      console.log('Streaming URL:', JSON.parse(urlInfo));
      
      // 4. Get lyrics
      const lyrics = await meting.lyric(song.lyric_id);
      console.log('Lyrics:', JSON.parse(lyrics));
      
      // 5. Get album cover
      const cover = await meting.pic(song.pic_id, 300); // 300x300
      console.log('Album cover:', JSON.parse(cover));
    }
    
    // Switch platform and search again
    meting.site('tencent');
    const tencentResult = await meting.search('周杰伦');
    console.log('Tencent results:', JSON.parse(tencentResult));
    
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error:', error);
  }
}

musicExample();
```

## API Documentation

### Constructor

```javascript
const meting = new Meting(server);
```

- `server` (string): Music platform ('netease', 'tencent', 'kugou', 'baidu', 'kuwo')

### Core Methods

#### Platform Management

```javascript
meting.site(server)    // Switch music platform
meting.cookie(cookie)  // Set platform-specific cookies
meting.format(enable)  // Enable/disable data formatting
```

#### Search & Discovery

```javascript
// Search for songs, albums, or artists
await meting.search(keyword, {
  type: 1,
  page: 1,
  limit: 30,
});
```

#### Search Options

- `type` (number, optional) - Search category for providers that support it. NetEase uses `1` for songs (default), `10` for albums, `100` for artists, etc.
- `page` (number, optional) - Page number starting from 1. Defaults to `1`.
- `limit` (number, optional) - Number of results per page. Defaults to `30`.

#### Music Information

```javascript
await meting.song(id)           // Get song details
await meting.album(id)          // Get album information
await meting.artist(id, limit)  // Get artist's songs
await meting.playlist(id)       // Get playlist content
```

#### Media Resources

```javascript
await meting.url(id, bitrate)   // Get streaming URL
await meting.lyric(id)          // Get song lyrics
await meting.pic(id, size)      // Get album artwork
```

### Supported Platforms

| Platform | Code | Search | Song | Album | Artist | Playlist | URL | Lyric | Picture |
|----------|------|--------|------|-------|--------|----------|-----|-------|---------|
| NetEase Cloud Music | `netease` | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Tencent Music | `tencent` | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| KuGou Music | `kugou` | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Baidu Music | `baidu` | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Kuwo Music | `kuwo` | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |

### Data Format

When `format(true)` is enabled, all platforms return standardized JSON:

```javascript
{
  "id": "35847388",
  "name": "Hello",
  "artist": ["Adele"],
  "album": "Hello",
  "pic_id": "1407374890649284",
  "url_id": "35847388", 
  "lyric_id": "35847388",
  "source": "netease"
}
```

## Development

### Running Examples

```bash
# Install dependencies
npm install

# Run the example
npm start
# or
npm run example
```

### Running Tests

```bash
# Run tests for all platforms
npm test
```

### Build from Source

```bash
# Build the library
npm run build

# Development mode with file watching
npm run dev
```

## Error Handling

The library uses Promise-based error handling. Always wrap API calls in try-catch blocks:

```javascript
try {
  const result = await meting.search('keyword');
  // Handle success
} catch (error) {
  console.error('API Error:', error);
  
  // Try fallback platform
  meting.site('tencent');
  const fallback = await meting.search('keyword');
}
```

## Rate Limiting

To avoid being rate-limited by music platforms:

- Add delays between consecutive requests
- Don't make too many requests in a short time
- Consider implementing request queuing for heavy usage

```javascript
// Example: Add delay between requests
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 2000));
```

## Important Notes

- **Copyright Compliance**: Respect music platform terms of service and copyright laws
- **Platform Changes**: Music platform APIs may change without notice
- **Availability**: Some features may be restricted based on geographical location
- **Rate Limits**: Each platform has different rate limiting policies
