Scrapify is a simple CLI that scrapes album names from a webpage using CSS selectors and turns them into a Spotify playlist.

See INSTALL.md.

Run the tool with npm start.

You'll be asked for a full URL and a CSS-style query selector to find your album titles.

You can provide an existing playlist ID to add the tracks to, or the name of a new playlist to create.

Let's say we want to scrape Pitchfork's Best New Albums.

Our URL is http:https://pitchfork.com/best/, and our query selector is #best-new-albums .title. Easy.

To fine-tune our search terms, we can add multiple selectors (comma-separated) that get merged together, like:

#best-new-albums .artist-list, #best-new-albums .title

This will find the artist name and album title and merge them together, so our Spotify search is a little more specific.

All the heavy lifting here is done by Spotify Web API Node, Cheerio and Chalk, so shout out to the owners and contributors of those projects.
