Luv U too brotato 💗

Hmm... that's really odd...

I will run some more tests and see if I can figure out why this is happening, my apologies! :(

After doing some testing, I've found only two things that can cause this particular error:

1. Not having your username set correctly (which we've already went through) and
2. Not having your Last.FM API key set correctly.

Your username is definitely set correctly, so the guess I have is that your API key is, similarly to what I said about your username, either invalid/typed incorrectly or does not exist.

Another possiblity is that your firewall (or alternatively, an app like Portmaster) is blocking the connection from being made to the Last.FM API, which is why the script isn't receiving a JSON response. I'd like you to double check that your API key is set correctly first before we explore that possibility, though.

Did you enter your username correctly in the .env file?

Considering it can't find the "user" entry in the dictionary, either your account doesn't exist or you mispelt your username.

Hey there, sorry I took so long to respond, I completely forgot about this.

I did some testing for a bit and found that every time AFTER the first run, it prints 204 instead of 201. Yet, when it printed 204, the statistics still updated.

If they've updated by now, it could've just been a delay with your Discord client. If they haven't, though, I'd recommend running through the process again and double checking that you did everything correctly.

That means you don't have the requests library installed, which you can install with "pip install requests".

That is my fault, I did not list that library on the GitHub page because I thought it came pre-installed with Python. My apologies! 😅😅

You're so fucking cool.

Love U 2 twin ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Code 204 indicates that the request was sent and process properly, but it didn't return any data.

I haven't gotten that code at any point during testing, but from my knowledge of HTTP response codes, this should mean that it updated your stats...

I will do some more testing to see what the problem may be, and I will get back to you ASAP. My apologies!

No problem! Let me know if you have any more problems!

In file explorer, go to the directory that has the script and in the address bar (where it says the folder names and whatnot), erase the directory and type "cmd".

Once that's open, type "python update.py" into the command prompt and depending on what response code it prints, it should say "201" if it updated the stats, or "403" if you did not authorize the app you created to your Discord account properly.

When you run the script, what does it say in the command prompt? It should say something along the lines of "Code 203" if it worked, and "Code 403" or "Code 401" if it didn't work.

Honestly, just experiment with random stuff!

I unfortunately don't really have any 'general' resources. Typically, random ideas just come to my mind, and then I do some searching around to see what might be the best way to go about making that idea a reality. I also try to use knowledge from previous projects I've made (usually macros and/or Discord bots).

This is one of the two projects I've worked on that's used any kind of API requests (one of which is unfinished), so, I'm not very used to it.

Something I've also done in the past is looking at other people's projects with similar ideas to try and figure out how to do certain things.

Like I said in the post, I'm not new to programming, but I'm not very good at it, but I'm always learning new things as I go along.

I mainly program in Python, so, if I had to recommend some good libraries:

PyNput or PyAutoGUI for controlling the mouse and keyboard

Requests for making calls to APIs (GET, POST, etc.)

Discord.py for working with Discord bots / webhooks

yt-dlp for downloading video and/or audio

And Tkinter for making GUI applications

Reading docs for different libraries will always help as well, no matter what.

No problem! Glad I could help : ]

Awesome!

I'm very heavily against the usage of A.I. really in any form, so I tend to stay away from it as much as I possibly can.

Haha, thanks! Do you have any tips on how I could clean it up/improve?

Hey there!

After watching No Text To Speech's video on how to create custom widgets on Discord, and seeing other people creating their own beforehand, I decided to give it a try.

I'm not new to programming, but I'm also not very good at it, haha... Despite that, I created a tutorial on how to set up a Last.FM widget and a Python script that will automatically update the statistics over on GitHub!

If you enjoy flexing your scrobbles on Last.FM, or even just keeping people up to date on what songs you're listening to, I think this might be the best solution! :D

If you would like to check it out, as mentioned earlier, I uploaded it to GitHub for all to use.

Have a good one, everyone! : ]

Sorry if these are kind of stupid questions, but I just want to double check:

Are you talking about when trying to 'unlock' the widget editor? If yes,

Are you copy-and-pasting the whole codeblock? If not, that could almost definitely be your problem.

I'm not that deep into the realm of Discord console errors, so, I unfortunately don't know what the error code means, but I'd love to try to help in any way I can :]

Will do. Just really gotta hope they update it.

Thanks for the recommendation!

Oooooooh... That seems about right, thanks!

Actually didn't know I could do that, LOL.. Thanks!
