APIs used:
- Topsy api (http://corp.topsy.com/developers/api/)
- Spotify metadata api (http://developer.spotify.com/en/metadata-api/overview/)
- Last.fm api (http://www.last.fm/api)
- Amazon api (https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/advertising/api/deta...)
First, I pull the top shared links on spotify from the Topsy api which is dead easy, then process each spotify link with the spotify metadata api to get artist/album.
Unfortunately, the metadata api from spotify doesn't give you the artwork so I head over to last.fm and amazon to see if I can get the artwork. Between last.fm and amazon I'm getting 90% of the album art which is nice.
