Generate playlist of a user's favorite most played tracks for a certain timespan and post it to mastodon.
This utility needs a valid config file with your lastfm API keys (get them at [last.fm/api](https://www.last.fm/api).) and mastodon account information in the `~/.config/lastfm_pg/config.ini` file (see `config_sample.ini` for an example).
Running the script for the first time will generate a sample config file if one doesn't exist yet.
In order to run the script at a given time, some systemd services are provided in the systemd-service directory. You will have to change them to match your configuration, more specifically the `WorkingDirectory` and `ExecStart` directive.
## Requirements
- pylast
- Mastodon.py
