Advanced tools
LastFM-njs
A fully featured interface for Node and the Last.FM api
The full Last.FM API description can be found here
You'll need an API key from Create API Account
You can install using npm install --save lastfm-njs
Then you can set up like so, where username is a default username:
var lastfm = require("lastfm-njs");
var config = require("./config");
var lfm = new lastfm.default({
apiKey: config.key,
apiSecret: config.secret,
username: config.username,
});
If a method requires writing to an account, then you also need a password
var lfm = new lastfm.default({
apiKey: config.key,
apiSecret: config.secret,
username: config.username,
password: config.password,
});
This library supports both esm and cjs importing, commonjs will export as a default. You can use modules like
import LastFM from 'lastfm-njs';
const client = new LastFM(...)
or require with
const LastFM = require("lastfm-njs");
const client = new LastFM.default(...)
After this, you can use any of the methods
