Intown

A gem to consume the Bandsintown 2.0 API. Supports finding artists by name, MusicBrainz ID, & Facebook Page Id. Supports returning events by artist & optional date range.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'intown'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install intown

Set your "app_id" configuration before making any calls. In a Rails app, this would go in config/initializers/intown.rb.

Intown.configure do |config|
  config.app_id = <YOUR APP ID HERE>
end

{:date => 3.days.from_now} # returns all events on the specified date
{:from => 3.days.ago, :to => 5.days.from_now } # returns all events in the date range (inclusive)
