API last.fm how to get artist information from last fm?

Question

API

public void ArtistsWeb() {
        Caller.getInstance().setUserAgent("tst");
        Collection<Artist> info;
        String key = "d5caa39183e72b2d5d5f7f1b600c286b"; //this is the key 

used in the Last.fm API examples
            for(Mp3data data:mp3data) {
                info = Artist.getInfo(data.getArtist(), key).getSimilar();
                System.out.println(info);
            }

}

I get something weird in the output.

Answer 1

The Last.fm API does not have a data.getArtist definition.
To get artist information use artist.getInfo .
