# Documentation

## `acoustid(file, options, callback)`

Looks up information about the given audio file.

*File* must be the path to an audio file or a readable stream.

*Options* must be an object with the following keys:

* `key`: Your AcoustID Web Service API Key (**required**)
 * `meta`: Meta parameter used in AcoustID API call (optional, default:
   all meta data) (see [docs](http://acoustid.org/webservice#lookup))
 * `fpcalc`: Passed to *fpcalc* as options (optional, see [*fpcalc*
   docs][fpcalc docs])

*Callback* must be a function that will be called with `callback(err,
results)`.

# Installation

This module depends on [node-fpcalc][fpcalc] to calculate audio
fingerprints. **The [*fpcalc* command-line
tool](http://acoustid.org/chromaprint) must be installed.** This is
often available via your package manager (e.g., `apt-get install
libchromaprint-tools` or `brew install chromaprint`).

```
npm install acoustid
```
