Last.fm Python Scrobbler

This is a lightweight script that can easily integrate with other applications to provide scrobbling capabilities for any service.

Setup (With Pip)

• Run pip install lastpy
• Create the environment variable LAST_FM_API and LAST_FM_API_SECRET with your Last.fm API Key
• Now import the library, and run the scrobble function to start saving songs.

Setup (From Source)

• First git clone https://github.com/huberf/lastfm-scrobbler
• Make sure you have the requests library installed.
• Create the environment variable LAST_FM_API and LAST_FM_API_SECRET with your Last.fm API Key
• Now everything is ready and you simply have to include this file in your program and call the authorize or scrobble functions.

Get user auth token

• Go to http://www.last.fm/api/auth?api_key={YOUR_API_KEY}&cb=http://localhost:5555
• Make sure nothing is running at port 5555, as we will be manually retreiving the token.
• Click "Allow Access"
• Now copy the token from the resulting url (e.g. http://localhost:5555/?token={TOKEN_YOU_WANT})
• Now run the authorize function in this library with this token as the parameter.
• Profit?

Scrobbling

• Import 'lastpy' into any project you want, and run the 'scrobble' function supplying the song name, artist name, and user auth token. The library will handle the rest.
