AlbumOfTheYearWrapper

A light weight python library that acts as an API for https://www.albumoftheyear.org/

Description

Gets data from https://www.albumoftheyear.org/. The website doesn't currently provide API support so web parsing is required to obtain data. Because of this, and according to https://www.albumoftheyear.org/robots.txt, searching and POST requests are not allowed.

Installation

pip install album-of-the-year-api

or upgrade

pip install album-of-the-year-api --upgrade

Usage

Examples

Here's a quick example of getting a specific users follower count

from albumoftheyearapi import AOTY

client = AOTY()
print(client.user_follower_count('jahsias'))

>> 0

If you don't need the full functionality, you can also import only the neccesary files

from albumoftheyearapi.artist import ArtistMethods

client = ArtistMethods()
print(client.artist_albums('183-kanye-west'))

>> ['Donda 2', 'Donda', 'JESUS IS KING', 'ye', 'The Life of Pablo', 'Yeezus', 'Watch the Throne', 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy', '808s & Heartbreak', 'Graduation', 'Late Registration', 'The College Dropout']

Notice artists also need their unique id along with their name

Each function also is able to return the data in JSON format

from albumoftheyearapi import AOTY

client = AOTY()
print(client.artist_critic_score_json('183-kanye-west'))

>> {"critic_score": "73"}
