# exploring the Mixcloud API...
# what data can we get from there?

# first select a playlist that you would like to explore
PLAYLIST="worm-25"

# then you can use curl to make an API request

# curl is a command line programme that you can use to download things
# from the $ man page:
#
# 	curl  is  a tool for transferring data from or to a server. It supports these protocols: DICT,
#       FILE, FTP, FTPS, GOPHER, GOPHERS, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, LDAP, LDAPS,  MQTT,  POP3,  POP3S,

curl https://api.mixcloud.com/radiowormrotterdam/playlists/$PLAYLIST/cloudcasts/

# apparently, Mixcloud calls an entry a cloudcast?

# the output will be formatted in JSON
# you can pipe this script to $ jq to get syntax highlighting, like this:

# 	$ bash get-playlist-data.sh | jq
