There are various ways to combine the parameters to get a useful song list.
Genre/Tempo/Mood: use one or more of these parameters to narrow down the song list
http://developers.musicshake.com/api/songlist?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY&genre_id=8,11&tempo=90,140&mood_id=5,13
Song title search: use the keyword parameter to filter through the song titles ; this can be combined with the genre, tempo, and mood parameters
http://developers.localhost/api/songlist?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY&keyword=dirty
Page: although this parameter is optional, it is necessary for the response to include the total_songs ,total_pages, and current_page - which are necessary to create a song list pagination. When the total pages is unknown, use page=1 to find out how many pages exist.
