TheConcertsTracker.py script returns a .csv file with all information about the concerts for a single band or artist, available on the setlist.fm website. You need to apply for a setlist.fm API key to download data and use them; they are free for non-commercial projects. You can get it here. Please read the API Terms of Use carefully.

The script takes as input the artist name (just for naming the output file) and the Musicbrainz MBID code, which is an identifiable code for each artist or band in the database. I'm now working on an automatic call artist name - code. In the meantime you have to manually add the code available on the Musicbrainz website.

artistname: name of the artist or band (string)
artistcode: Musicbrainz MBID (string)
API_KEY: Setlist.fm valid API Key

The algorithm returns a csv file with column names, the value separator is a semicolon ";". The fields are the following:

1. ID ID of the concert
2. artist artist / band name
3. eventdate datetime object of the event
4. tourname name of the Tour
5. venue name of the venue of the show
6. venue_id ID of the venue
7. city City where the show is located
8. city_id ID of the city
9. city_lat Latitude of the city
10. city_lon Longitude of the city
11. state State name
12. state_id ID of the State
13. country Country name
14. country_id ID of the country

If a field information is missing, the code returns None for that value.

The script now runs on Python 3.x only. You can run the code using the command:
$ python TheConcertsTracker.py 'artistcode' 'artistname' 'API_KEY'

python TheConcertsTracker.py '5441c29d-3602-4898-b1a1-b77fa23b8e50' 'David Bowie' 'API_KEY'
