Maintained by Myer (also known as myerfire, MyerFire)

This library is an async wrapper for the last.fm API.

Features

• Currently, any API methods that do not require the authentication process are supported.

Installation

lastfmpy is available from the official pYpI package index.

python -m pip install -U lastfmpy

Documentation

• There are relevant docstrings on the functions of the main wrapper class.
• Object attribute documentation may (?) be worked on but the code in objects.py is easily readable.
• ****There is no API method for a user's currently playing song. The way to get the currently playing song of a user is to request recent tracks and check whether the first index of the list has the attribute playing set to true.

Quick Start

from lastfmpy import LastFM
import asyncio

API_KEY = "hahagetbaited"
# if it isn't obvious enough, replace this string 
# with your API key obtained by going to https://last.fm/api/applications and creating an application

async def main():
    lastfm = await LastFM(API_KEY)
    recent = await lastfm.user.get_recent_tracks(user="myerfire")
    print(f"{recent.items[0].name}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(main())
