BandEventNotifier

Notify incoming gigs regarding the listened artists on Last.FM.

Motivation

I am a frequent visitor of live music performances. At times I miss gigs I'd like to see. Instead of using time to crawl through the venue pages as a weekly routine and manually parsing all the interesting artist events, it's time to automate this task.

Last.fm would have been excellent for this but it relies on users creating the events. Same applies for Facebook and other sites. Instead of parsing all the interesting artist sites, I though it would be best to parse venue programmes only. Works for me (TM).

Dependencies

  • Python 3.x
  • Pylast
  • requests

Setup

Install dependencies under venv directory by running:

make install

Setup LastFM credentials by copying example_lastfm_creds.json into lastfm_creds.json file. Edit file accordingly, should be self-explanatory. Obtain API key and secret from https://www.last.fm/api/account/create if needed.

All set! Fetch artists info form LastFM:

$ ./bandeventnotifier.py fetch --lastfm

or to get usage information, just run ./bandeventnotifier.py.

Broken plugin

Venues site layouts changes every now and then. That means a broken plugin. One should sacrifice a few minutes to fix the issue but if you are in a hurry, do the following:

  • Check the plugin's file name
  • Add broken plugin's file name into plugin_handler.py file
  • Variable is called blacklisted
  • i.e. blacklisted = ["plugin_venuename"]
  • Run the fetch again

Sometimes the domain dies and the plugin handler will go bonkers. In that case, remove all the *.pickle files from venues/ directory and blacklist (and delete) the plugin.

If you are not capable to fix the plugin by yourself, please contact the author of the plugin or me.
