eLasticFM

Index all scrobbles into elasticsearch via Last.FM API

Setup

Create a mapping for the index template

{
  "mappings": {
    "properties": {
      "album": {
        "type": "keyword"
      },
      "artist": {
        "type": "keyword"
      },
      "title": {
        "type": "keyword"
      },
      "user": {
        "type": "keyword"
      }
    }
  }
}

Add the index name (ie lastfm) to the index pattern for the template. Create the index:

PUT lastfm

Create a .env file with following parameters

LASTFM_USER = 'your-lastfm-username'
LASTFM_API_KEY = 'your-lastfm-apikey'
ELASTIC_ENDPOINT = 'https://your-es-endpoint:9200'
ELASTIC_API_KEY = 'your-elastic-apikey'

source venv/bin/activate
