Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require spatie/last-fm-now-playing ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) The constructor of `Spatie\NowPlaying\NowPlaying` needs an api key you can get [from the last.fm site](http://www.last.fm/api/account/create). ``` $nowPlaying = new Spatie\NowPlaying\NowPlaying($apiKey); $nowPlaying->getTrackInfo($lastFmUserName); ``` If the specified user is currently playing a track you'll get backy and array with keys `artist`, `album`, `trackName`, `artwork` and `trackUrl`. The `getTrackInfo`-function will return `false` when a user is not currently playing a track. If something goes wrong an instance of `Spatie\NowPlaying\Exceptions\BadResponse` will be thrown.
