##Setting up Spotify with Last.fm

The Spotify integration is done via Last.fm since Spotify doesn't have the API we need. So before we can setup the integration you first need a to Sign up to Last.fm then on Spotify go to Preferences and under Social connect with Last.fm. After that's done every time a song is played Spotify will send that track information to Last.fm. So now, start playing a few songs and after a little while check if those songs are appearing in your Last.fm profile.

Now that you have some data on Last.fm we need to get an API_KEY. Follow the Getting started instructions and once you are done you should be able to get an API Key from your api account page.

Once you have your API Key from Last.fm open the server > .env file and enter:

  • API_KEY under LASTFM_API_KEY

Also make sure to set:

  • LASTFM_INTEGRATION_DISABLED to false
  • LASFM_USERNAME to your Last.fm username
  • LASTFM_UPDATE_STREAM_FREQ_MINUTES to the number of minutes you want to wait before updating the data in your stream.
  • LASTFM_UPDATE_FREQ_MINUTES to the number of minutes you want to wait before updating the data in the Spotify page

Note A small number is not always the best and it might make Syte2 slow. If you are unsure just keep the default values.

Next, restart the server and open the following url http://localhost:3000/lastfm/setup. If everything is setup right, this will fetch about 3000 of your recent played tracks, group them by day and save them to the database. If you have listened to music recently, you should be able to go to http://localhost:3000 and see it in your stream and at this point your Spotify page should also be working.
