The Ondu API

The Ondu server has a small, plain HTTP API, and it’s the same one the iPhone and Mac apps use. If you like to tinker around you’ll probably enjoy this!

Every endpoint is documented in the API reference, or alternatively you can also download the OpenAPI spec directly.

Inspiration

Here are some ideas you could try and build for yourself.

Your own smart playlists

You could build your own smart playlists, for example based on play count (“most played”) or haven’t heard in a while (“last played over a year ago”) or never listened to.

Artist photos from your own source

Music files don’t include them but the apps do show them when present (and allow uploading), but that requires a lot of manual work. Why not try and automate this!

Your own data on albums and artists

Annotations are a simple key-value store for your scripts, on any album or artist. Maybe you want to look up every artist on MusicBrainz and store their MBIDs so you could build some kind of custom discovery script to try and find music you might like based on your library!

Make your own player

The apps use the same API, so you could build your own app as well! Maybe you are a devoted TempleOS user who wants to build a music client for that?
