- Introduction
- ------------
- Lastscrape is a quick hack for pulling listened tracks from any Last.fm
- profile library. It is written in Python and requires the BeautifulSoup
- module.[1] Version 3.1 of it seems to be broken[2] so use version
- 3.0.7a.
- How it works
- ------------
- The script loads the page at <http://last.fm/user/PROFILE/tracks>,
- where PROFILE is any Last.fm profile name. It checks how many pages the
- library has, then loops through all of them, gathering all the tracks
- you've listened.
- The program outputs a TSV-formatted (tab-separated) list of the track data.
- Usage
- -----
- You can simply run:
- ./lastscrape.py USER [OUTPUT_FILE]
- Output file is optional, but you may want to use it if your terminal encoding
- is not UTF-8.
- To save the track data in a file, you can run e.g.:
- ./lastscrape.py USER trackdata.tsv
