KKBOX Open API Swift Developer SDK for iOS/macOS/watchOS/tvOS

2019 © KKBOX.

KKBOX's Open API provides various data from KKBOX's rich music archive. It helps you to access data about KKBOX's song tracks, albums, artist playlist and so on.

This is a pure Swift implementation of a client to access KKBOX's Open API. You can easily integrate the SDK into your iOS/macOS/watchOS/tvOS project using Swift Package Manager or CocoaPods.

The SDK leverages lots of powerful features of Swift programming language, such as wrapping API responses into enums, and the JSON encoder / decoder since Swift 4.

On the other hand, the SDK could not be called in your Objective-C code directly. If you need to work with KKBOX's Open API in your Objective-C code, you may need to wrap the SDK in your own bridging code, or, you may want to take a look of KKBOX's Objective-C SDK

For further information, please visit KKBOX Developer Site.

The SDK supports

• Swift 4.2
• 📱 iOS 9.x or above
• 💻 Mac OS X 10.10 or above
• ⌚️ watchOS 2.x or above
• 📺 tvOS 9.x or above

Ths SDK uses NSURLSession to do HTTP connections. Since NSURLSession has not been ported to Linux, you cannot run the Swift SDK on Linux yet, even Swift runs on Linux.

You need the latest Xcode and macOS. Xcode 9 and macOS 10.13 High Sierra are recommended.

The SDK supports both CocoaPods and Swift Package Manager.

The SDK supports CocoaPods. Please add pod 'KKBOXOpenAPISwift' to your Podfile, and then call pod install.

Add the following line to your Cartfile

github 'KKBOX/OpenAPI-Swift'

Then run carthage update.

Add the SDK as a dependency to your Package.swift:

// swift-tools-version:4.0

import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
    name: "KKBOXOpenAPI-test",
    products: [
        .executable(name: "KKBOXOpenAPI-test", targets: ["YourTargetName"])
    ],
    dependencies: [
        .package(url: "https://github.com/KKBOX/OpenAPI-Swift", .upToNextMinor(from: "1.1.6"))
    ],
    targets: [
        .target(name: "YourTargetName", dependencies: ["KKBOXOpenAPISwift"], path: "./Path/To/Your/Sources")
    ]
)

To start using the SDK, you need to create an instance of KKBOXOpenAPI.

let API = KKBOXOpenAPI(clientID: "YOUR_CLIENT_ID", secret: "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET")

Then, ask the instance to fetch an access token by passing a client credential.

_ = try? self.API.fetchAccessTokenByClientCredential { result in
    switch result {
    case .error(let error):
        // Handle error...
    case .success(_):
        // Successfully logged-in
    }
}

Finally, you can start to do the API calls. For example, you can fetch the details of a song track by calling 'fetchTrack'.

_ = try? self.API.fetch(track: "4kxvr3wPWkaL9_y3o_") { result in
    switch result {
    case .error(let error):
        // Handle error...
    case .success(let track):
        // Handle the song track.
    }
}

You can develop your app using the SDK with Swift or Objective-C programming language, although we have only Swift sample code here.
