Top last.fm artists seen live

Which of my top last.fm (most listened to) artists have I seen or not seen live?

Background

To answer the question above I'm using scrobbles from my last.fm account, the seen live tag on my last.fm artists and the last.fm API together with some PowerShell.

Usage

Prerequisites

• PowerShell 7.x
• last.fm API Account

Run script

$env:API_KEY = "<API Key>"
./src/main.ps1 -LastFmUserName <string> `
         [[-NumberOfArtists] <string>] `
         [[-InactiveArtistsFile] <string>] `
         | Out-File artists.md

Result

An up-to-date version of my list of artists (generated by GitHub Actions each night) can be found in the artists.md file.

See the latest run in Actions.

Create your own fork

To be able to create a fork of this repo that runs towards your own last.fm account run the following steps:

1. Create a last.fm API Account
2. Fork this repo
3. Go to repository settings in your fork => Secrets and variables
4. Create a repository secret named API_KEY with the value of the last.fm API key
5. Create a new repository variable named LASTFM_USERNAME and set the value to your own last.fm username
6. Open the Update Artists workflow and choose Run workflow to trigger the workflow
7. Check the resulting artists.md at the root of your repo after the run has completed to see your own statistics.

Remember that this utilizes the seen live tag on artists to resolve which artists you've seen live. Also note that the list of inactive artist (link) is manually maintained and based on my artists, so you might need to adjust them in your fork.
