[Statistics][Enhancement] Artist Stats Page

[Satanarious]

Like the Playlist stats page, an Artist Stats page would be great. This would include:

• Number of times artist appeared in tracks
• Hours/Minutes listened to
• Number of times the artist appeared in individual user playlists
• The artist's global ranking is on Spotify or Last.fm And much more.....

Regarding what the Last.fm or Spotify API allows, Is this possible?

[harbassan]

Anything to do with counting tracks is possible on my end, so the number of appearances in your library etc. Anything else just depends on the API, most likely last.fm because spotify's is pretty limited. I'll recheck what they provide though and see what I can do.

Last.fm artists info, not that much here tbh, no info on hours/minutes but it does provide alltime scrobbles:

[harbassan]

feel free to look around the apis though for this and the other ticket, and if you find something interesting I could add it

I was talking about the user-front, but not directly on the artist-front. I mean:

• Number of times the artist's track was scrobbled by the user.
• Hours/Minutes scrobbled by user for that artist and so on.... Because there's free visualisation on last.fm for those things, so I thought maybe that's included in the API as well. Or maybe not in the artist endpoint of the API, but some other end point.

yeah thats what i was looking for, but there doesnt seem to be anything like that.

I could fake the minutes by assuming each play is 3 minutes or something like that, but thats probably not great.

I am very limited having to rely on apis, obviously if i had a server to store the data i could do so much more (like stats.fm)

[Satanarious]

What about parsing the user profile webpage? Because that data is available for everyone to see.

[harbassan]

Ive never actually done web crawling/parsing so I dont know whether thats an option.

[Satanarious]

I think it should be easier that way.
