Last.fm releases new API.
The new API introduces a user authentication protocol which for the first time allows applications to create user sessions, bringing both read and write services to web apps, desktop apps and mobile devices.
Take our new tagging API’s. Developers can both pull and apply tags to music content from any application on any platform now. The same goes for sharing – developers can build Last.fm sharing support into any app.
There are also new search, playlist, event and geo API’s being rolled out today, with lots more stuff planned in the coming weeks and months.
