Generally, this program parses NPR Morning Edition, Weekend Edition, and All Things Considered and creates a Spotify Playlist for that day's interlude music. It's not perfect at matching for various reasons like human error and my ad-hoc matching logic. Assumes you have a free spotify developer account, uses OAuth2, and spotify user permissions to create/modify playlists.

========= Notice #2 =====

Sadly NPR has stopped putting up their Artist and song title information last year. This project is sleeping for now. I might kick around the idea of trying again with some sort of Shazam API to id songs from their show audio recordings. :(

========= Notice ========

*** I've discovered that Spotify only shows the most recent 200 playlists publicly. If you use a link from the archive data you can view any of them. I'm working on a temperary solution in the meantime. If you're able, support with a vote here All Platforms Playlists Get Rid of 200 Public Playlist Limit, voting can still help a closed issue. ***

/showname Article Data/ - Each day's output for each year

/showname Article Link Cache/ - Output that feeds day links into Main.py below.

NPRPageParser.py - Takes in an NPR show link and saves out to json files various info about that day including any track information.

NPRPlaylistCreator.py - Various methods to create, update description, add tracks.

NPRSpotifySearch.py - My system for trying to get a decent amount of search results to then parse and find a good track match.

Main.py - Entry point (that's gross looking.)

• Create a dependiencies manifest.
• Make more pythonic all around.
• Automate to run daily.
• Automate twitter posts

Would take a long time (like, 95ish days non-stop for one person) to go verify and create playlists for NPR's Morning and Weekend Edition interludes. While this little project took near 2 years to complete, I was able to learn some more about programming and Python.

One of my first programming projects. I'm new to GitHub and Python.

Suggestions welcomed. Go easy on me and Enjoy!
