Importing data from an external XML file

Just as we showed what could be done with JSON in the preceding recipe, the Last.fm file also allows you to take data from its services in XML format. In this recipe, we will show you how to do this.

Getting ready

Follow these steps to import data in the XML format from Last.fm:

1. Let's start with the music app that we created in the Importing data from a local CSV file recipe.
2. To use Last.fm, you need to register and get an API key. The API key can be
   created at https://www.last.fm/api/account/create.
3. The API key has to be set in the settings as LAST_FM_API_KEY. We recommend
   providing it from the secrets file or an environment variable and drawing that into your settings...
