lastfm_cg : lastfm collage generator




Generate covers collage from albums listened by a lastfm user.
This utility needs a valid config file with your lastfm API keys (get them at last.fm/api.) in ~/.config/lastfm_cg/config.ini (the config file will be created at first launch, you can also see config_sample.ini for an example).
You can also use the --API_KEY and --API_SECRET argument to set your lastfm API key.
It also caches the image files downloaded thanks to the requests-cache library. If you don't want the script to create an sqlite file in your ~/.local/share/lastfm_cg/ directory, you will have to launch the script with the -d/--disable_cache flag.
A twitter bot and a mastodon bot are also available in the bot_lastfm_cg folder. You can see them in action on my own Twitter and Mastodon accounts.
Some systemd service are also available in the systemd-service directory to run the lastfm_cg script at a given time. You will have to change them to match your configuration, more specifically the WorkingDirectory and ExecStart directive.
