A python script that scrapes the content of Billboard Charts for a given date and creates a Spotify playlist with these songs. Ideal for a birthday gift to your friends.

Developed during Angela Yu's class 100 Days of Code.

Setup

1. Create a virtual environment: python -m venv myproject_env
2. Activate the virtual environment
3. Install dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt

Python version 3.12.3

How to

• You need a Spotify account for this
• Fork the Github project and clone the forked repository to your local machine using the git clone command
• Create a .env file in the project to store your environmental login values
• Go to the Spotify developer dashboard, create an app and copy the Client ID and Client Secret to your .env file
• Use the Spotipy documentation to authenticate your project access to your Spotify. You will need to call the get_token function for the first time that you do this:

token = get_token(CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET)
print(token)
