lastfm-nodejs-client v1.5.2

LastFm NodeJs client

A Node JS wrapper client for fetching public data from LastFm API.

Fetch server side or client side, thanks to cross-fetch

How to use the client

Install the npm package in your project.

pnpm install

Consider PNPM ▶️

Import it

Import the client module:

import { lastFm } from 'lastfm-nodejs-client';

Import the Types as type:

import type {
  Artist,
  Track,
  User,
  WeeklyAlbum,
} from 'lastfm-nodejs-client/dist/@types/lastfm.types';

Working on getting these into DefinitelyTyped

Use it

const lastFm = LastFmApi();
const { config, method } = lastFm;

const getTopArtists = async () => {
  const data = await lastFm.getTopArtists(
    method.user.top_artists,
    config.username,
    'overall',
    '200',
  );
  const { topartists } = data;
  return topartists;
};

🚀 Gives you:

ENV

Create .env file in project root:

You do not need an API key to query the public USER entity, add only base url and a username to env file.

LASTFM_API_BASE_URL=""
LASTFM_USER=""

For everything else you will need to include:

LASTFM_API_KEY=""
LASTFM_APPNAME=""

Create them here.

Why I built this?

I was building a scrobbles page https://mannuelferreira.com/scrobbles and I thought others might want it to.

TODO

• move types into DefinitelyTyped
