pydrag is a modern api wrapper for the Last.fm api with a fluent syntax!

Quick Start

Apply for a last.fm api key and write down your key and secret.

Install

$ pip install pydrag

Example

>>> from pydrag import User, configure
>>> configure(api_key='54062d8af7afdc_not_real_3459048a4')
>>> rj = User.find("RJ")
>>> rj.real_name
'Richard Jones '
>>> recent = rj.get_recent_tracks(limit=1, page=1)
>>> first = recent.pop()
>>> first.name
'Fu-Gee-La'
>>> similar = first.get_similar(limit=1)
>>> similar[0].name
'Family Business'
>>> similar[0].artist.name
'Fugees'
>>>
>>> for friend in rj.get_friends(recent_tracks=True):
...     friend.name, friend.recent_track.name
...

Development

Use you favorite tool to create a python >= 3.6 virtual environment

$ git clone git@github.com:tefra/pydrag.git
$ pip install .[dev]
$ pre-commit install
$ pytest
$ tox

pydrag uses vcrpy library to record and replay last.fm responses for its unit tests and python-dotenv to auto-configure itself.

All sensitive information like keys and credentials are automatically censored.

So when it’s necessary to record a new response it’s super useful to have a .env file with your configuration!

LASTFM_API_KEY=your_api_key
LASTFM_API_SECRET=your_api_secret
LASTFM_USERNAME=You
LASTFM_PASSWORD=YouPass

Changelog: 22.5 (2022-05-08)

  • Replaced attrs with dataclasses

  • Added support for python 3.10

Advanced example

For write operations you need to be authenticated. Last.fm has multiple ways to authenticate users the most simple is to provide your full credentials.

Find a track by artist and name, retrieve the album, add some user tags and love the Back in Black

>>> import pydrag

>>> pydrag.configure("<api_key>", "<api_secret>", "<username>", "<password>")
lets say it worked
>>> track = pydrag.Track.find(artist="AC / DC", track="Hells Bell")
>>> album = track.album
>>> album.to_dict()
{'attr': {'position': 1}, 'name': 'Back in Black', 'mbid': '38914b29-7788-4cff-80b7-1ced523f8675', 'url': 'https://www.last.fm/music/AC%2FDC/Back+in+Black', 'image': [{'size'

>>> full_album_info = track.album.get_info()
