Listening History API

[Rhett Garber]

I'd like to get a hold of my listening history through the API, but I don't see a method for that. 

Basically I want the data similar to what's available at http://www.rdio.com/#/people/rhettg/history/.

getActivityStream seems to only include adding albums to my collection which isn't near as interesting.

Is there a way to get at this that I missed or is there a particular reason this isn't included in the API?

Thanks,

Rhett

Hi Rhett,

The API we're using for play history currently isn't something we're comfortable exposing. We are working on a new play history system that will be more performant (good for our users) and will be sane enough to expose through our API (good for developers).

I expect that this new API will be available in the next couple of months but I don't want to make any promises - it's taken longer than I'd expected to get up and running.

I want to throw my support behind a listening history method. For my particular use of the api this is the most important data for me.

We're actively working on this. I expect to have good news on this front very soon.

We are currently implementing a new system for storing the playback
history, which should make it possible to expose the data to
developers. At a minimum, we are a few months away from introducing
new API features.

Updates?

[Devin Sevilla]

None yet, I'll announce publicly whenever it's available.

Just went to start on a project that requires this and found that it doesn't exist :( 

So adding my voice to the chorus of people who would like to see it.

If it helps get the feature out quicker, I feel like history for just the currently authenticated user (not friends) would cover most use cases.

[Kyle Boulay]

I'm also very interested in this.

[Hamilton Chapman]

I too would love to get track playback history data to use in my app. 

Any updates?

[Kevin Mann]

I need this too for our app. Any idea when it will be implemented?

[Simon Lawrence]

Given that the last response from a Rdio person was around two years ago, I wouldn't hold out much hope for listening history api endpoint.

[Devin Sevilla]

Hi Simon,

We're here and listening, unfortunately this project isn't a priority
right now and the effort to properly implement it isn't trivial. I
still bring it up as a feature requested by many developers. It will
happen some day, I can't say when.

I thought I should add my name to the group of people who would be really interested in this feature. I would really like to get an idea how often i listen to certain albums and how my music tastes have changed over time. 

[Kevin Newcombe]

I'll add my name to the list of people asking for this functionality. I'm currently using Last.fm for this, but since almost all of the music I listen to is through Rdio, it would be great to have everything in one API.

[Cory McDaniel]

Another dev requesting said API.  If anything, just an way to get listened to artists.

[Danny Hadley]

I'd like this for my personal website please please please! +1
