Recently I found out about Max and now in one of my project I'm trying to do something with tags from Last.fm. Something like grabbing certain tags and doing something with them --> get songs out of them and then perhaps playing the music etc.

Now I have some experience with web-based programming and a little bit of visual programming with Pure Data.

I've been reading about the last.fm api but I basically have no idea where to start to embed something like that into something like MAX.

I'm not asking for readymade solutions, but information about where I should be looking at would be considered amazing.

I did a project with the Twitter API - and my main piece of advice is to choose a library (in Javascript/Java/Ruby/Python) which you can call from MaxMSP - this saves you having to construct your OAuth queries using a bunch of [sprintf]s and whatever, and will probably also parse the output of Last.fm (probably in JSON or XML).

I am trying to call web3.js to read ethereum block information, but can't seem to reference the web3.min.js library from the [js] object. I am relatively unfamiliar with calling out / using internet with a [js] object in Max. Any hints?
