This simple script let's you update your Slack status with the song you're currently listening to via Last.fm - for example using Spotify.

1. Clone this repository.

git clone https://github.com/joshghent/lastfm-slack.git

2. Run composer install.

3. Copy .env.example to .env and configure your LASTFM_KEY key, LASTFM_USER and your SLACK_TOKEN.

4. Run the script php statusUpdate.php

5. Listen to some music :)

After configuring a .env file with the required parameters, run the following command. Please note: Do not wrap your environment variables in quote " tags as this will mean the program does not work!

docker run -d --restart always --name lastfm2slack --env-file .env joshghent/lastfm2slack

Please note: Please place the config options in "" quote marks.

1. Go to this website here and create a new API application a. Fill in the application. Call it "Last2Slack" or something similar - it doesn't really matter
2. On the completion screen, it will show the API Key - this is the LASTFM_KEY
3. There will also be a "registered to" field. This is the LASTFM_USER.
4. Record these details as you cannot currently view them again!

1. Get your Slack app credentials from https://api.slack.com/apps.
2. Call https://slack.com/oauth/v2/authorize?user_scope=users.profile:write&client_id=&redirect_uri=http://www.example.com/
3. with the result, call curl -F code=<CALLBACK CODE> -F client_id=<CLIENT ID> -F client_secret=<CLIENT SECRET> https://slack.com/api/oauth.v2.access

To change this, change the SLACK_EMOJI config option to a markdown emoji with the colons either side. e.g., :tada: By default the emoji is 🎵
