LastfmApio
LastfmApio is a simple PHP wrapper for the Last.fm API that allows you to make parallel requests so it works faster (JS style)., (*2)
Internally, it uses marcushat/RollingCurlX, a wrapper of cURL Multi., (*3)
Installation
Add j3j5/lastfm-apio to composer.json., (*4)
"j3j5/lastfm-apio": "dev-master"
Run composer update to pull down the latest version of LastfmApio., (*5)
or alternatively, run, (*6)
$ composer require j3j5/lastfm-apio dev-master
Configuration
Open up the config.php included with the package and set there all your API key and secret (optional)., (*7)
Alternatively, you can set your own config array and use it to overwrite the config file when you create the first instance of LastfmApio.
The array config must be as follows:, (*8)
$lastfm_settings = array(
'api_key' => 'YOUR_API_KEY',
'api_secret' => 'YOUR_API_SECRET',
);
$api = new LastfmApio($lastfm_settings);
Use
Once you have created your own instance of the library, you can use any of the public methods to request from Twitter's API., (*9)
If you decide to set your tokens from your own app instead of from the config file:, (*10)
use j3j5\LastfmApio;
$lastfm_settings = array(
'api_key' => 'YOUR_API_KEY',
'api_secret' => 'YOUR_API_SECRET',
);
$api = new LastfmApio($lastfm_settings);
// Now you can do all type of requests
$user_info = $api->user_getinfo(
array('user' => $username)
);
$artist = $api->artist_getInfo(
array('artist' => 'Rosendo')
);
Or the more interesting ones...the ones with concurrent requests!!, (*11)
use j3j5\LastfmApio;
$lastfm_settings = array(
'api_key' => 'YOUR_API_KEY',
'api_secret' => 'YOUR_API_SECRET',
);
$api = new LastfmApio($lastfm_settings);
$username = 'lapegatina';
$api->user_getweeklyartistchart(array('user' => $username), FALSE, TRUE);
$api->user_getweeklyartistchart(array('user' => $username, 'from' => 1210507200, 'to' => 1211112000), FALSE, TRUE);
$api->user_getweeklyartistchart(array('user' => $username, 'from' => 1217764800, 'to' => 1218369600), FALSE, TRUE);
$api->user_getweeklyartistchart(array('user' => $username, 'from' => 1232280000, 'to' => 1232884800), FALSE, TRUE);
// The response to all concurrent requests is return as an array using as key a string of the parameters joined by '.'
$responses = $api->run_multi_requests();
foreach($responses AS $response) {
$allresponseresults = isset($response->weeklyartistchart->artist) ? $response->weeklyartistchart->artist : array();
print count($allresponseresults) . " artists found." . PHP_EOL;
}
You can also change the maximum amount of concurrent requests to be launched against the API doing, (*12)
$api->set_max_concurrent_reqs(50); // High values might get you in trouble with Last.fm, please be considerate with them!
This library is deeply inspired on dandelionmood/php-lastfm, which was useful but
did not support multirequests, which made me code this one., (*13)
