Last.fm API client
==================

[](#lastfm-api-client)

This is a client for the last.fm API. It uses the [Guzzle](http://guzzlephp.org/) web service library. The client API is a custom web service client based on `Guzzle\Service\Client`.

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/ed98098082c649e3dbb15a73e70d66c7123b52af7de042c3ceaac13657978286/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f63726169676d617276656c6c65792f6c6173742d666d2d6170692d636c69656e742e706e673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/craigmarvelley/last-fm-api-client)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Use composer to install the library and all its dependencies:

```
composer require "marvelley/lastfm-api:1.0.*@dev"

```

Basic Usage Example
-------------------

[](#basic-usage-example)

Before you can use the library you have to request your API key on the [last.fm API page](http://last.fm/api).
Put that key in the following code and run the code from the command line:

```
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Marvelley\Lastfm\Api\LastfmApiClient;

$l = LastfmApiClient::factory(array('api_key' => 'your_api_key'));
$ai = $l->getCommand('artist.getInfo', array(
	'artist' => 'Elvis Presley',
	"format" => "json"
));
$result = $ai->execute();
echo "Similar artists:\n";
foreach($result['artist']['similar']['artist'] as $artist) {
	printf("  - %s\n", $artist['name']);
}
```

\## Running integration tests

Before running the test suite you need to configure a specific environment variable with a valid last.fm API key. For example, from your terminal:

```
$ export LAST_FM_PHP_CLIENT_API_KEY=your_api_key

```

or add a similar entry to your bash/zsh/whatever config file.

You can then run the test suite via:

```
$ phpunit

```

from the root of the project directory (assuming you have PHPUnit installed and on the path).
