Download all your scrobbles since the beginning of time

A tool to create a CSV of all your last.fm scrobbles ever

https://mathieuhendey.com/2020/10/download-all-your-historical-last.fm-data/

The last.fm only lets you generate reports up to a year back, this tool will let you download all your scrobbles in a CSV format with the artist, song, and the timestamp.

From here you can do cool things like plot your top 20 artists on a graph using plot.py. Make sure you've run downloader.py first, or you won't have any data to plot!

Or see how many times you've listened to a specific song:

rg "little wing" data/lastfm_scrobbles.csv| wc -l
      33

Read the source code for downloader.py, it has some information about setting up your credentials.

N.B. this can take a long time. The script prints out an estimated time remaining, but for a large last.fm history (e.g. 280,000 scrobbles) you're going to be looking at about an hour.

Stopped working?

Describe the bug
Downloader only downloads a very small subset of my scrobbles

To Reproduce
Install dependencies and run downloader.py

Expected behavior
Downloader downloads all my scrobbles.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: OSX Big Sur

Additional context
I suspect this is NOT a problem with the script but a change in Lastfm's API. I tried to download my scrobbles but I'm only getting 203 results from 444k scrobbles. This has happened with other tools, but thought I'd ask here in case you might know the reason. Maybe I'm missing something? Do I need a Last.fm pro account?

Maybe update plot to new library versions?

Describe the bug
The main program works great for my 44,000ish scrobbles. Unfortunately my libs are too new for plot.py to work. Still cool to be able to grep and find out basic info.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Xubuntu 20.04.4
