I've recently been working an libraries for various languages to access and make use of the Jambase API. Why? Well, for one thing, I love live music. For another, I believe that being able to create a mashup or something similar that incorporates live music is pretty useful. Jambase is a pretty unique service and the amount a data that it provides is staggering.

To date, I've released Jambase4R, a framework-agnostic Ruby library and Jambase4J, a Java library. Both confirm to similar interfaces and make accessing the Jambase API simple.

Today, I released Jambase4Net, which allows .NET developers to access the API. It's quite simple to use, as this Gist shows:

Hopefully that pretty straightforward. Have a look at the source for more details and feel free to fork it.

I've just recently committed an update to an older plugin of mine - JamBase4Rails. It's now called JamBase4R and is not tied to any specific framework. It can be used with Rails or Sinatra and will include specific portions automatically, however.

What is JamBase4R?

It's a Ruby library designed for simple interaction with the JamBase online live music service API. It makes it ridiculously simple to integrate a search for live music into your Ruby application.

That's really all there is to it! Feel free to try it out or fork it and let me know what you think of it. As a side note, JamBase4Rails will be deprecated soon.
