Input is always welcome! Raise an issue on GitHub, or send a message to the Gitter chatroom if you need help with the library.

If you're interested in contributing code or documentation, this short introduction to the library will help you get started.

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

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

Clone this repo and reference IF.Lastfm.Core in your application. Your IDE needs to support C# 6 and portable libraries - Visual Studio 2015 Community or better.

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 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");
}
