Spotify-Time-Machine

Description

• A script in Python 3 that when provided with a user's credentials, as well as a date all the way back till 04/08/1958, will scrap Billboard's Hot 100(https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/) and save the song in a txt file, 'top_songs.txt'. It will then save these songs in a spotify playlist in the format "Billboard Top 100: YY-MM-DD". You will be prompted to enter urls in the format of https://example.com/{KEY} which will be opened on your browser. Just copy and paste it in the terminal window.

Getting Started

Dependencies

• BeautifulSoup 4, Spotipy

Executing program

• Just run the .py file and the script should start.

Help

• Edit the main.py file and insert your client secret and id values in the fields in the code. Can be found @ https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard. You need to create an app after logging into developer.spotify, and then enter the two values displayed under client secret and client id.
• Make sure to include a redirect url in your developer app, for e.g. https://example.com.
