``lastfmclient``
################

Python client for the `Last.fm API `_ with a
pythonic interface. Also includes an async variant of the client for
`Tornado `_.

Usage
=====

Regular
-------

.. code-block:: python

from lastfmclient import LastfmClient

api = LastfmClient(
api_key=KEY,
api_secret=SECRET,
session_key=session_key
)

resp = api.track.update_now_playing(
track='Paranoid Android',
artist='Radiohead',
album='OK Computer',
)

print resp

Asynchronous (uses ``tornado.httpclient.AsyncHTTPClient``)
----------------------------------------------------------

.. code-block:: python

import tornado.web
import tornado.gen
from lastfmclient.async import AsyncLastfmClient

class Scrobbler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):

@tornado.gen.coroutine
def post(self):
api = AsyncLastfmClient(
api_key=KEY,
api_secret=SECRET,
session_key=session_key
)

resp = yield api.track.update_now_playing(
track='Paranoid Android',
artist='Radiohead',
album='OK Computer',
)
self.finish(resp)

See also `examples `_.

Client methods
==============

All the methods the Last.fm API provides are mirrored in the client with
rich docstrings and arguments description. This code is actually generated
directly from the online API documentation pages
(see ``./generate.py``, ``./api.json``, and ``./lastfmclient/api.py``).

The defined methods be updated to the current version of the documentation via:

.. code-block:: bash

$ pip install -r requirements.txt lxml

# 1. Generate fresh api.json from docs at http://www.last.fm/api:
$ make spec

# 2. Generate `lastfm/api.py` from `api.json`:
$ make code

# Or, all the above in one step:
$ make
