OmniAuth Last.fm

Last.fm strategy for OmniAuth 1.0.

Installing

Add to your Gemfile:

gem 'omniauth'
gem 'omniauth-lastfm'

Then bundle install.

Usage

You'll need an API account with Last.fm, you can get one here - http://www.last.fm/api.

Usage of the gem is very similar to other OmniAuth 1.0 strategies. You'll need to add your API keys to config/initializers/omniauth.rb:

Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :lastfm, "consumer_key", "consumer_secret"
end

Now simply follow the README at: https://github.com/intridea/omniauth.
