Project Goals

• Provide complete .NET bindings for the Last.fm REST API
• Provide components useful in any Last.fm app
• To be the very best, like no-one ever was

Quickstart

Installing the SDK

NuGet - production code

Install the NuGet package. Search for Inflatable.Lastfm in the NuGet package browser.____

NuGet - prerelease code

There is a NuGet package built for every commit to master. Add https://ci.appveyor.com/nuget/lastfm-ql51ic53xoqw to your NuGet package sources, and install the IF.Lastfm.Core prerelease package.

From source

Clone this repo and reference IF.Lastfm.Core in your application. Your IDE needs to support building portable libraries - Visual Studio 2013 Community or better.

Using the SDK

First, sign up for Last.fm API access if you haven't already.

Create a LastfmClient:

var client = new LastfmClient("apikey", "apisecret");

Get information about an album:

var response = client.Album.GetInfoAsync("Grimes", "Visions");

LastAlbum visions = response.Content;

For methods that return several items, you can simply iterate over the response

var pageResponse = await client.Artist.GetTopTracksAsync("Ben Frost", page: 5, itemsPerPage: 100);

var trackNames = pageResponse.Select(track => track.Name);

Several API methods require user authentication. Once you have your user's Last.fm username and password, you can authenticate your instance of LastfmClient:

var response = await client.Auth.GetSessionTokenAsync("username", "pass");

// or load an existing session
UserSession cachedSession;
var succesful = client.Auth.LoadSession(cachedSession);

Authenticated methods then work like any other

if (client.Auth.HasAuthenticated) {
	var response = await client.Track.LoveAsync("Ibi Dreams of Pavement (A Better Day)", "Broken Social Scene");
}

Documentation

• Api method progress report
• Example Windows Phone app
• Scrobbling
• Dependency Injection

Platform Compatibility

The current PCL profile is

• .NET Framework 4.5
• Windows 8.0
• Windows Phone 8.1
• Windows Phone Silverlight 8

If you need support for Mono, Windows Phone 7, or another .NET platform, please ask: the current profile was chosen to reduce dependencies for the most common use cases. The SDK should be trivial to port to any platform which supports Async, HttpClient and Json.Net.
